a   cool   enough  sony  walkman  called

 it's battery  powered (two aa batteries) 
 and has a microphone. it does feature  a 
 speed hole but  it's hidden  beneath its 
                  shell.                  
                                          
 a cool  thing  is  the  speaker  on  the 
 front. but isn't that a magnet  close to 
              the tape? yes               
                                          
              is it good              
                                          
 well. it has some very real  compression 
 going on  so close  vox and  other  high 
 volume things  are  very crisp and  with 
 kind  of  low  noise. but  when  there's 
 more  of  an  ambience, all you  hear is 
           hiss and motor noise.          
                                          
 denoising techniques are simple. actual  
 denoising  for the noise,  and maybe  an 
             eq for the motor.            
                                          
      what     is     it     for      
                                          
 i use it for  talking to when i'm drunk. 
 it  does  this  very  good.   the  pause 
 button is a small stop,  the stop button 
             is a major stop.             
                                          
             some quirks              
                                          
 when unpausing, recording begins before  
 the  engine is fully spun up,  resulting 
 in   a   nice  swoop   being   recorded. 
                                          
 it    made   me    buy    a   vhs    cam 
                                          
                                          
                                       
                                          
        rest in pieces, literally
