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
