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
