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
