A head drive mechanism for a cassette deck includes a reciprocating member driven when the reels are halted and a lever member for driving the head. Connecting these two members is an operating mechanism, which may include a lever member and an elastic member for elastic connection. The head is locked after it advances a certain distance, and is then unlocked to move quickly to the forward position to contact the tape.
