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
