Nice Minicassette unit
I found one of these at a thrift store and bought it for like three dollars and had to do minor repairs on it. Honestly I dislike that its a departure from the usual form factor of Dictaphones but it more than makes up for that in quality. It has three different speed controls and the mic on it sounds really nice (i guess that's why its so big) with three different gain settings. There is a way to mess with it and have the Mic come out the headphone output, nice for some flavor or just to have a tiny mic.
The tape player is not too fussy and i can get it to play mini-cassette tape loops with ease! lovely unit for slowing down tapes or recording loops, or even recording stuff out in the field. I was able to get surprisingly hi fidelity recordings of birds with this thing.
Can't recommend this one enough!! buy it if you see it.

In this video he talks about using it at 5:30 it also makes a cameo in the beginning of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdCyQEwiZQg but he does not play anything with it. I'm not sure its a common thing for him to use in songs because he says he does not like how big it is
In this image from Steve Rodens interview with A Closer Listen, you can see the Sony Mic n Micro directly to the right of the zither with bells on the strings. You can tell it's the Mic n Micro from the shape and color, the microphone head is pointing down. In the interview Steve Roden says that this was from a recording session from 2011 where he recorded acoustic instruments onto small tape recorders.
