my good fathers good friend  gave me the 
  
  fostex x fifteen                      
  
 and  its   a   two track  tape  recorder 
                                          
 i  don't really get how it works. it has 
 two x rca in, two x  rca out, and four x 
 rca "tape out" which i guess is all four 
 channels on  the cassette -  which means 
 the  b side is  played backwards if it's 
                like that                 
                                          
 so  now i  have to differentiate between 
 four track cassettes and two x two track 
       ones... or not, just as well       
                                          
                                   
                                          
 it featyures a low  noise floor which is 
 great,   but  there  is  some  dithering 
 noise  or  if  it  is  the motor, i dont 
                  know,                   
 also there is  a really rad red cassette 
                slot cover                
                                          
                                    
                                          
 it does  not  have  a  speed hole  but 
 rather  a  much neater actual speed knob 
 i   dont   know    the   percentage   of 
 difference but it applies also  to  fast 
            forward and rewind            
                                          
  
  future refusals                       
  
                                          
 update: this  fuckers  gone  whacko  and 
 you need to flip  it over constantly and 
 get   in    there   with    your    hand
