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
