Abstract
A cassette tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus has a rectangular chassis on which a cassette holder is pivotally mounted for angular movement relative to the chassis about an axis extending along one long side of the chassis between an inclined cassette receiving position and an operative position in which a cassette in the holder is loaded flat against the chassis, a pivot on the cassette holder defines a pivot axis which is adjacent, and at right angles to the axis of movement of the holder, and a head base is mounted on the pivot for movement relative to the cassette holder between a rest position, in which a magnetic head mounted on the base extends a relatively small distance into a cassette inserted in the holder, and an active position, in which the head is further projected into a cassette in the operatively positioned holder.
