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
