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
