だらかな傾斜を通じて形成されている。 A tuning display window 10, a cassette mounting section 11a whose mechanism is switched by the push buttons 8a, and a cassette mounting section 11b whose mechanism is switched by the push buttons 8b are arranged on the front surface of the cabinet 3b. At the same time, recesses 12 for exposing the front sides of the push buttons 8a..., 8b... are formed through gentle slopes relative to the left and right speaker portions 13a, 13b.

次に上記押釦８ａ…，８ｂ…の形状について、
第４図に代表して示す押釦８ｂとともに説明す
る。 Next, regarding the shape of the push buttons 8a..., 8b...
This will be explained together with the push button 8b representatively shown in FIG.

れることになる。 Therefore, the push button 8b is attached to the mechanism switching lever 14 in the cabinet as shown in FIG. 3, and when not in operation, the push button 8b- ₂
are arranged in parallel in the notch 9b at a height that approximately corresponds to the top surface portion 3a of the cabinet. The pushbutton 8b has an inclined top surface 8b- ₁ located in the recess 12 of the cabinet front section 3b.
It is arranged in parallel with the cabinet front section 3b through the opening.
