Abstract

A magnetic tape guide mechanism for a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus which includes a base having a large-inner-diameter hole with a larger inner diameter than a shaft hole, and a resilient synthetic resin member located in the large-inner-diameter hole and surrounding the shaft of a tape guide. As a result, a horizontally extended threaded hole and fixing screw conventionally required are eliminated and the overall construction is simplified. Moreover, the adjustment work is facilitated and the overall production cost of the components are substantially reduced.
