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
