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
