I don't know. I haven't started looking. But
I'm quite sure that I
haven't seen a new mono (not stereo) shoebox player/recorder in a very,
very long time. Heck, I don't even have stereo
equipment that plays
cassettes.
They are still being manufactured believe it or not, largely for the
educational market.
This seems fairly close:

All I need is one good playback, so I'm not too concerned, But in the
last 20 years CD has supplanted cassette, and I can't say that I'm
upset.
