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
