I've thought a timer would be handy, but unlike video tapes,
cassette tapes are so short (typically 45 minutes per side,
or an hour if you use C-120s) that using a timer to tape a show
while I'm out wouldn't do much good for a long show, such
as "A Prairie Home Companion" or a symphony orchestra presentation.

Best thing to do is get a Beta HiFi or VHS HiFi videotape deck
and use it for audio-only (although I don't know if those things
have switched outlets into which you can plug your amp and tuner).
