ABSTRACT:
A cassette tape player suitable for use in automobile audio systems is provided. A receptacle for a cassette is movably mounted in a chassis at an angle with respect to the chassis bottom. A guide mechanism serves to first translate the receptacle in the oblique position and then turn the receptacle about its trailing edge to place the receptacle in a horizontal position. The guide is designed such that the capstan receiving opening in the cassette in the receptacle is maintained in constant alignment with the capstan during change of the receptacle from the oblique to the horizontal position, avoiding cassette damage and capstan deformation. Electric controls are accommodated in the space between the receptacle and the chassis bottom.
