ABSTRACT:
An adaptor for playing a magnetic tape cassette in a tape player for 8-track endless tape cartridges, including an adaptor housing whose horizontal width and depth dimensions and peripheral shape adjacent the bottom thereof are substantially the same as that of the endless tape cartridge to fit in the cartridge-receiving cavity of the tape player. The housing is shaped to form an upwardly opening well for receiving the magnetic tape cassette, and has a tape driving capstan for driving the cassette tape, and a capstan drive train for selectively driving the capstan from the tape drive of the cartridge player, including a pivoted power takeoff lever and pulley to couple and decouple with the cartridge tape drive, and a pivoted function control lever having an end portion movable relative to the takeoff lever to position the latter at non-driven and release positions. The function lever is releasably restrained at Play and Stop positions, and an automatic stop tape sensor lever having a sensor formation engaging the cassette tape is provided to shift the function control lever to Stop position when the tape is fully unwound from the supply reel of the cassette.
