Oh man. Vibes and memories.
Have you tried Audacity? That should allow you to hook up a phono-to-line off an amp, or line-to-line off a walkman, into the line-in on a PC sound card and it will just pick up the signal. Hit record and then export to mp3.

Two tapes I’m gutted I lost were ‘Jungle Dub by Noodles’ mix tapes from Mash on Oxford Street. Both from 1994. Used to go in there on a Saturday on our way to Blackmarket Records to get Standard Deluxe t-shirts and they had a killer sound system in the shop with a DJ in a booth at the back. They used to bang out the tunes REALLY loud in there!
It’s the end of a Swanny set and then Donovan Bad Boy Smith, both really good sets full of epic tunes from back then. Can’t remember the MC names but I recognise their voices - really ‘93 style MC-ing!
I could hear those raves up in the sports centre from my bedroom down in Sydenham but I was a little bit too young to go to raves in 93!
I really need to find a way to convert this to mp3. I’ve also got a stack of Seduction mix tapes up in the loft and some pirate radio recordings from late 94 and on.
