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
