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
