In a drive mechanism for driving tape recorder reel bases wherein a mode-change lever is operated to change modes and a drive gear rotatably mounted to the change lever selectively engages one of the pair of reel bases, a reciprocating brake member in provided that is capable of engaging the reel bases in a return position to lock the reel bases. Further engagement portions for engaging the brake member with the change lever are provided, so that the drive gear engages one of the reel bases only after the brake member has been disengaged from the pair of reel bases and, on the other hand, the brake member engages the pair of reel bases only after the drive gear has been disengaged from the one of the reel bases.
