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
