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
