Anyone ever heard of the Marlux DS-200 Dolby decoder? I bought one on eBay to decode my Dolby RTRs

Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

I've been thinking about getting a Dolby B decoder and found this for $1.99 plus $11.82 shipping (=) $13.81. For less than $14 I figured it was worth the gamble. I can find no information on the Internet.
From the picture you can see Dolby calibration is adjustable for both recording and playback. I don't see a Dolby tone generator, but Barclay-Crocker tapes have Dolby test tones on them. I guess I could use these?
Also some bad news to report. My car was broken in and my Kenwood Cassette Deck was stolen. Any suggestions for a replacement? I would like frequency response 20-20kHz at -20VU, Dolby B and 70us EQ for my audiophile Cassettes.
I thought cassette decks were safe from criminals. Either they thought it was a CD player or some criminals still like cassette. Bad thing I've got to replace a window too and my deductible for other than collision is $500.00. I'm stuck for the whole thing myself. Anyway any thoughts on a good cassette deck for the car?
