Wanted: A higher end boombox with a line in (possible?)

I'm looking for a way to make tapes from other sources.  Rather than buy a complete cassette deck, I thought I'd ask if there are any high end boomboxes with a line in input. Any recommendations, and better yet, any for sale?

I would pick up a Sony D5M or D6C Walkman. No boombox will ever come near their recording performance

Excellent. Of the two, it looks like the D6C is a little smaller, correct?  Can they both record from a line in?

Yes they both have line-in. The D6C is smaller. Personally I prefer the D5M, because it doesn't break down that easy and I find it nicer to operate. It also has two real VU meters. But they are both very good in making records

The D5 M would be easier to service and repair
