I am wanting to connect a tape recorder that has only MIC input to a device
that has AUX or earphone or speaker level outputs.  What I need is some level
of attenuation.  I have not worked with these before so I don't know what
the typical levels and impedances are.  Does anyone know this and/or have
good working circuits for apply the proper attenuation?  Are there any other
things that need to be done besides just attenuation?

The recorder I have is a Sony TCM-38V.  The instructions recommend using
special connector cords for recording from various sources.  For dubbing
between 2 cassette units they recommend model RK-G64.  The same is also
recommended for recording from a radio or TV equipped with an earphone
jack.  The RK-G69 is recommended for recoding from a radio or TV equipped
with a recording jack.  I suspect what I need to do is reproduce these
cords unless some wonderful dealer happens to stock these possibly rare
items.  (Maybe RS?  Nah!)
