What is claimed is:

1. A capstan shaft assembly for a tape recorder comprising:

a capstan shaft having an engagement end portion operative to be received within and engage a tape cassette which is placed in operative position within said tape recorder;

a bearing member supportively engaging said capstan shaft along a portion thereof other than said engagement end portion; and

a flywheel including a securing portion securing said flywheel to said capstan shaft;

said flywheel being secured on said capstan shaft to be located between said engagement end portion of said capstan shaft and said bearing member with said securing portion being configured to extend to within a tape cassette placed within said tape recorder in engagement with said engagement end portion of said capstan shaft;

said flywheel being thereby arranged to be located between said tape cassette and said bearing member when said tape cassette is placed in operative position within said tape recorder.
