I'm guessing F.U. doesn't have the same connotation in Japanese... when asking the engineers about "F.U.", they replied it mean "FULL UP". There were jokes based on that one for a long time.

Friend had one of these, if I remember instead of reversing the tape, it reverese the cassette itself. Called the "dragon". I had a baby version of a later model, still have it somewhere.
