At the very least you're gonna need an 1/8 to RCA cable to plug into your turntable or tape deck and then plug into your mic jack. This isn't ideal because the sound quality isn't going to be the greatest doing it this way but if your sound is lofi anyway it's not really going to matter, just remember you can always bump your sample quality down after the fact but not up when sampling.
Like everyone else has said though, an audio interface is the way to go. You could get a soundcard if you were so inclined but I think just getting a USB interface is easier plus they're way more portable and you can use em on your desktop or laptop. I've got a few friends that use the Focusrite Scarlett and they say good things about it, I myself use an old Line 6 POD for my sampling and output to my deck and it does the trick.
I just actually did this. Finding a tap recorder you want online is the hard part, in that it can be expensive and often used. That means you need to do some research. Once you get your tape recorder use this. It works well and is easy to use.
Side note for the tape recorder. Don't get a newer recorder. You want that inherent lofi feel. Also don't forget to buy tapes!
