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
