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
