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
