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
