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
