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
