A system for degaussing magnetic media includes a media transport carousel mounted to move in a first direction into the system and through a magnetic field generator and to move in a second direction through the magnetic field generator and out of the system. An automatically reversible transmission transmits via a plurality of gears rotational force from an input shaft in a first rotational direction to drive the drive element and the media transport carousel in a first direction. The automatically reversible transmission is configured to transmit via a second plurality of gears the rotational force from the input shaft in the first direction to drive the drive element to move the media transport carousel in a second direction opposite of the first direction. A media rotation assembly automatically rotates the media transport carousel after it passes a distance through the magnetic field generator.
