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
