The mechanism comprises cassette holding means for detachably retaining the cassette. The cassette holding means is enclosed in main frame means; pivot means are included for rotation in the minor axis of the cassette within the main frame means. Paired arm means provide for rising and lowering the main frame means from and to the operating station. Each arm means is hingedly attached to the operating deck, and slidably engaged at the opposite end with the main frame means. The arm means hold the main frame means and the cassette substantially parallel with the deck during the raising and lowering. During the raising and lowering of the cassette, means provide for rotating the cassette holding means and the cassette 180.degree.. The cassette is then lowered to the operating deck for playing the tape in a reverse direction.
