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
