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
