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
