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
