Having trouble finding the right radio

1987 na rx7
I've been looking to finally get a radio for my build and I can't seem to find a radio with a cassette player for under 150, everything I look at is extremely overpriced. I would be happy with going OEM but everything I've found there has been over 200 and untested. is there anyone with an OEM radio I could buy or could someone point me in the correct direction for finding a cassette radio?
All your help is greatly appreciated.

Are you trying to buy new or used? Have you checked ebay? I think there should be some vintage tape decks that won't cost and arm and a leg. You can usually find these at garage sales anyhow. As far as compatible fitment, that I'm not sure of. I think the FC uses a double din arrangement but I'm not certain on mounting locations and depths, etc.

It has been my experience the OEM radios go between $150 for untested, and double that for tested.
I think your OEM is a Clarion, without CD (but with a cassette deck) but with an equalizer. Definitely a double-din. However, this is just from memory so don't hold me to it.
