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
