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
