An operation lever mechanism for a tape player which comprises an array of operation levers including a play-operation lever for advancing a head plate alone, a stop-operation lever for retiring the head plate, a fast forward-operation lever and a rewind-operation lever, engaging portions provided on the operation levers, respectively; an operating member provided between the operation levers and adapted to be operated, upon depression of any one of the operation levers, through engagement thereof with the depressed operation lever to lock said lever in the depressed position and restore the operation lever adjacent said depressed lever which has been depressed previously; an interlocking member provided in association with the stop-operation lever for an ejecting operation and formed with a projected portion engageable with a salient portion of said stop-operation lever, said operating member having an operation portion for displacing the projected portion of the interlocking member out of the actuation area of the salient portion of the stop-operation lever. With the arrangement, upon depression of any one of the operation levers, the lever previously depressed is released and the lever now depressed is locked in the position and the stop-operation lever can act two ways, namely to stop the operation rendered by the other operation lever and to effect a cassette ejecting operation in cooperation with the interlocking member engaged therewith when any other operation lever is not in an operative condition.
