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
