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
