Fostex - X-15 mk2 Multitracker 4-track Cassette recorder-player

The X-15 is an easy-to-use cassette tape four-track 4 channel multi-tracker with that great Fostex sound. It is a portable, battery/mains operated four track cassette recorder and mixer — with the emphasis definitely on 'portable': for the complete unit measures only 3"(H) x 11½"(W) x 9"(D) and weighs in at under 6½lbs including the battery pack! Tape speed — which is the standard 1⅞-ips; no double speed facility being provided. The slower tape speed should normally result in a lower signal to noise ratio, but the inclusion of built in Dolby B type noise reduction circuitry helps to maintain a healthy S/N of 60dB which is still slightly better than most open reel budget multitrack tape recorders! Crosstalk is quoted as 40dB, with a signal frequency response that extends up to 12.5kHz.
Record 2 tracks simultaneously!
The recorder requires a voltage of between 11 and 15 volts.
A DC In socket on the rear panel allows an AC adaptor to be connected for mains power.
No battery included

Including power adapter
12 used cassette tapes with recording ability in a box.
Fully cleaned, new belts, idler, heads cleaned and demagnetized.
