Abstract
Static electricity is drained from a magnetic tape by a draining element mounted on a movable support which also carries the movable guides that pull tape from the cassette and wrap it around the drum in a playing loop during the play mode of operation. In the inoperative position the run of tape across the front of the cassette passes between the movable playing-loop guide and the static draining element. Preferably, the draining element is not in contact with the magnetic tape in the play mode.
