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
