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
