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
