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
