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
