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
