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
