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
