Abstract
In a recording medium drive, a frame on which a deck is attached and a printed circuit board are equipped on a bottom chassis in the drive body, and an indicating display device such as a fluorescent display tube is connected to the printed circuit board and arranged at a position corresponding to a window of a front panel. Projections for locking are formed integrally to the frame, and the fluorescent display tube is caught between the front panel and the projections for locking so as to be positioned. This allows the indicating display device to be held by a simple configuration, and manhours required for manufacture to be reduced.
