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
