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
