Magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus and video camera using same apparatus

摘要

A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus is provided in which a pair of reels around each of which a magnetic tape is wound are mounted on a pair of reel bases rotatably disposed on a chassis. A drum section is disposed along a predetermined tape path and around which the magnetic tape is wound in helical manner. A plurality of tape guides are fixedly disposed along the predetermined tape path on the chassis, to guide travel of the magnetic tape. And, a casing is roughly airtightly closed at a peripheral portion thereof, for preventing the magnetic tape from being removed to the outside of the apparatus. The drum section includes a fixed drum to which a first rotary transformer is fixed, and a rotatable drum to which a magnetic head and a second rotary transformer are fixed. Both the magnetic head and the second rotary transformer are attached to a printed circuit board. The rotatable drum is disposed coaxially with the fixed drum in such a way that the first and second rotary transformers face each other to receive and transmit signals of the magnetic head therebetween. <IMAGE>
