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
