#..#.#..#. 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            #.#..#.#.#
