A new old stock stereo double cassette deck with chrome and metal tape support, Dolby B Noise Reduction, auto-reverse, and a built-in 30-watt-per-channel amplifier, Made in Japan, which you may be able to find on eBay: the TOA BA-823, introduced in 1992 and designed as a background music system for commercial use. TOA also had the BA-806, with a mono amplifier designed for PA systems (but the cassette decks in it are still stereo), and the BA-800, a non-amplified deck with stereo line outputs.
