All I want is speed control on a cassette player. It'd be great for sampling for lo-fi music.

Check out Amulets (a great musician) who once sold a variable speed tape player in his shop [1]

There's also the fascinating OM-1 Cassette Tape synthesizer [2] -- it varies the pitch of the tape to produce different sounds.
