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
