Abstract
A mechanism wherein reel tables of a recording/reproducing device are moved to selectively load different-sized tape cassettes thereon so that a tape cassette loading mechanism can stably support each of the different-sized tape cassettes. First and second loading pins move with the reel tables, and third and fourth loading pins are fixed on an upper deck. The first and second loading pins support the back end of a small tape cassette, and the third and fourth loading pins support the back end of a large tape cassette.
