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
