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
