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
