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
