Abstract

A magnetic tape recording and reproducing apparatus such as a VTR apparatus has a chassis, a head drum, and a pair of tape loading members movable on the chassis for keeping a magnetic tape in contact with a peripheral surface of the head drum along a tape path extending over an angular interval. A head drum base for use in the magnetic tape recording and reproducing apparatus comprises a head drum mount adapted to be fastened to the chassis for mounting the head drum thereon, and a pair of stops integrally formed with the head drum mount for positioning the tape loading members to maintain the magnetic tape in the tape path.
