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
