An automatic reversible tape recorder is disclosed in which the functions of the keys for fast forward and rewinding are improved, and the manufacturing and assembling are rendered easier owing to the simple structure of the components. The tape recorder includes first and second manipulation levers 110 and 120 capable of moving back and forth horizontally to make said magnetic head ascend or descend, upon completion of displacements of a certain distance. The tape recorder further includes a locking member 130 for selectively fixing said first and second manipulation levers 110 and 120 upon ascending of said magnetic head due to advancement of said first and second manipulation levers 110 and 120. The tape recorder further includes a tape running direction reversing member 140 installed coaxially with said locking member 130, for being turned as much as a certain amount of angle upon advancing of said second manipulation lever 120, so as to push a program lever 150 (which pushes a cam gear). In the present invention, the functions of FF and REW are improved, and the mentioned functions are carried out in a simple manner. Further, the manufacture and assembling of the tape recorder become easier. Further owing to the simple constitution of the direction reversing member, the price of the tape recorder can be lowered.
