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
