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
