ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A disk cartridge transportation apparatus includes a carrier mechanism supported for movement along a guide shaft for transporting disk cartridges between a disk cartridge stocker and a recording/reproducing unit. The carrier mechanism includes a lift base being movable along the guide shaft, and a cartridge transporting mechanism supported on the lift base for movement between the stocker and the recording/reproducing unit. A support member is supported for rotation on the lift base and extends perpendicularly with respect to the guide shaft. A rotating mechanism including a first motor is mounted on the support member for rotating it with respect to the lift base. A cartridge holding mechanism for holding a disk cartridge is capable of advancing and retreating along the support member with respect to the disk cartridge stocker and the recording/reproducing unit, A drive mechanism including a second motor is mounted on the support member for moving the cartridge holding means along the support member. The first and second motors are connected to a controller via a single flexible cable. Thus, the apparatus is inexpensive to manufacture and is high in assembling efficiency.
