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
