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
