Abstract
A cassette adapter of this invention is incorporated into a reel drive type tape recorder to permit the use of a capstan drive type tape cassette. The cassette adapter houses a capstan drive type tape cassette and is incorporated into a tape cassette insertion position of the reel drive type tape recorder. The torques of reel shafts of the reel drive type tape recorder cause the reel shaft of the cassette adapter to be rotated and at the same time cause a switch for the capstan shaft drive motor to be switched ON.
