ABSTRACT:
A cartridge tape player adapted to receive a cartridge having a capstan shaft for driving the tape in the cartridge and a tape player chassis including a pair of bilateral symmetrical retainers mounted to the tape player chassis. Each of the retainers includes parallel extensions which form spherical sockets having an inner spherical concave surface. A pair of ball bearings having outer convex surfaces are positioned around the capstan shaft to expose the capstan shaft to the tape in the cartridge and each of the ball bearings are positioned in the spherical sockets of the retainers thereby engaging the outer convex surface of the bearings with the inner spherical concave surface to provide a self-aligning bearing structure for mounting the capstan shaft within the tape player chassis.
