Abstract
An improved selection/drive system is incorporated in a magnetic tape recording/reproducing apparatus such that the apparatus may be changed into any of the stop, playback, pause, que and review operations by making use of a single drive gear rotating with a capstan. A sector gear selectively meshes with the drive gear and has first, second and third engaging stubs thereon, and first, second, third and fourth locking members interlocked with operation buttons are selectively engaged with the stubs to lock the sector gear at any of predetermined angles of rotation for establishing the stop, playback, pause, fast-forward or rewind state.
