There are some machines with built-in amp but no speakers, also considered decks by some.

Cassette deck
Deck is just a transport: no power amp, no speakers. Linked a 1968 magazine that has plenty of tape recorders and decks. It is OCR'd, feel free to search for "deck". Like Bell & Howell: "five are portables with built-in twin speakers ... two are decks". Then there is a Norelco ad of a "first stereo cassette playback deck", then on page 11 "the first hi-fi cassette deck and a variety of cassette recorders".
