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
