Yes, I understand. I guess I was hoping that, since walkmen (portable
cassette players) have similar torque/speed requirements and somewhat similar
power requirements (battery life doesn't vary by a great deal, I don't
think), that it would be possible to make a generalization for them.
The reason I am asking is that I can buy a new walkman for $10 (I'll try
looking for used/broken ones first though). The store manager would probably
get irritated if I started testing his merchandise with a meter. :)
