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
