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
