In a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus of the dual capstan type, that is, in which a magnetic tape preferably contained in a cassette is driven simultaneously by two spaced apart drive assemblies each constituted by a rotated drive shaft or capstan and a pinch roller movable against the capstan, for example, through the usual window of the cassette, at least one magnetic recording head and at least one magnetic reproducing head are located between the two drive assemblies for respectively recording and reproducing signals on the tape as the latter is transported by the drive assemblies, and at least one magnetic erasing head is mounted adjacent the pinch roller of one of the drive assemblies, at the side of that pinch roller facing away from the other drive assembly, and is movable with the adjacent pinch roller for engaging the tape through the same window of the cassette.
