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
