MODE SELECTOR LOCKOUT MECHANISM FOR A CASSETTE TAPE RECORDER/REPRODUCER ABSTRACT A mode selector mechanism for a magnetic tape recorder/ reproducer device for use with a cassette and having a housing, a cassette receiving opening, a tape drive mechanism and a plurality of actuators including a play, a stop and a record actuator, which actuators are movable from an outward at rest position to an inward operative position. A locking mechanism is positioned within the magnetic tape device housing and includes a first portion and a second portion, both portions being en- gageable with the actuators. When the tape transport is inserted into the tape player device, a solenoid is energized to move the first portion from a first position to a second position wherein it is selectively engageable by at least one of the actuators for holding the same in the inward operative position. The second portion of the locking mechanism is positioned within the housing and is engageable with the play actuator. Engagement of the play actuator with the second portion slidably moves the latter to prevent the inward movement of the record actuator. A connector arm is provided within the player and is engageable with either of the play or record actuators to effect engagement of the tape transport with the tape drive mechanism. The stop actuator is movable to an inward position for engagement with the first portion to disengage the play and record actuators, whichever is in the operative position.
