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
