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
