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
