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
