I have a Sony TCD-5M, which later became the TCD-5000M. It is the tape recorder of choice for roving radio journalists. It's a bit bigger than a walkman (it's about the size of a paperback book) and it's a bit pricier than a walkman (I paid $800 for mine in 1980) but it is absolutely the highet quality.
