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
