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
