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
