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
