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
