If money's not too big a concern, and learning how to repair old tape decks doesn't sound like something you have time for- in other words, if the investment of money is easier than an investment of time, you might try and track down one of these. I have a couple, and they work fairly well, eliminating adapters and other such stuff. You just make recordings right onto a thumb drive.

Tascam/Teac are reasonable quality. Marantz at one point made some good things, don't know about the modern ones. like the PMD-300CP. I'm not married to the brand- or any other brand- so am open to hearing about other recommended decks, But there are some brands I've been told to stay away from, namely Io and Pyle. If there are good new decks made by them which don't have a tin-can sound quality, again am open to hearing about it. I just get the sense that Cypher25 is asking as someone who'd understandably like to avoid a steep learning curve as part of digitizing these memories.
