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
