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
