Abstract
A tape recorder is disclosed in which the movement of the pinch roller toward and away from the capstan, the movement of the take-up roller toward and away from the take-up reel mount and the movement of the brake plate toward and away from the take-up and supply reel mounts are performed by a single control board having three control sections. The movement of the control board is associated with that of the head base plate carrying a magnetic head and movable between a stop position and a playback position. When the head base plate moves to the playback position, the control board moves together with the head base plate by the elasticity of the spring member tensioned therebetween, whereby the three types of movements make possible the desired playback state. In response to an external operation for a pause, the control board alone is moved to the stop position, thus turning the three types of movements into a pause mode.
