Hi, I want a cassette "walkman" (doesn't have to be sony) with a mic in
recording please. In particular, I want it to have a mic in. I want to
use it with a headset that has a microphone. I would prefer it to be
black (basic, classic style, nothing overstylised, I want it to be
suitable for business-like usage), and I'd prefer it to have a red
recording button. As much as possible I'd prefer to do things with
buttons and don't want an LCD and menues. I want to be able to use it
without looking at it. If it has an FM tuner that would be a plus,
though not necessary. It should be inexpensive, either as new or on
ebay.

Any ideas?

You have described the Sony Walkman Pro pretty well exactly.

I'm having a hard time finding it. Can you suggest a model name?

Also, what do you (guys) think of this one?

Quality is no big concern for me, just ergonomics, simplicity, and
basic looks.

Probably good enough, if you aren't after too much. The Sony is as
good as just about any full size model, so probably overkill for you -
that is the full model name by the way.

This Sanyo is incredibly ugly though.

There, I found the model I prefer

It's a mono dictaphone.

Looks much better than the Sanyo for my needs.

Actually not; the model designation (I have mine here) is WM-D6C. (This
is the most popular model; there are others.)
