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
