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
