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
