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
