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
