Abstract
A vertically symmetrical tape guide for use on a base of a tape deck of audio-visual equipment. A locating pin on one of three triangularly spaced support members of the tape guide locates and aligns the tape guide in a hole in the base of the tape deck. A screw affixes the tape guide to the base of the tape deck. A contoured arm supports two horizontally extending fingers vertically spaced apart by the width of the tape to provide a guide for the tape when traveling across a tape head mounted to the base of the tape deck. The vertically symmetrical tape guide is configured so that the tape guide can be reciprocally mounted on either side of and adjacent to the tape head.
