amediaETA The tape is out - but the poor Go-Video is now just a rather boxy VCR. It wasn't just this tape - that deck simply doesn't recognize *any* tape. I sincerely doubt it's worth fixing! Time to look for a new one, I fear.
There's a tape stuck in the top bay of my Go-Video. The machine simply doesn't seem to realize there's a tape in there; not only will it not eject, it won't play, rewind, or fast-forward, and perhaps most telling of all, it won't change from the clock to the counter when that deck is selected.
It's an old Go-Video; I've had it for nine or ten years, but it's never had any kind of problem like this. It's also an old tape; it was a 49-cent rental from Blockbuster.
I can't bring it over to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
keikokin's house to have her wonder-hubby look at it (pout) *[note: this is NOT the primary reason I miss her!], I can't find the manual and I'm having trouble downloading the manual from the manufacturer's website.
If this was an old Macintosh I'd straighten out a paper clip - is there a similar trick for coaxing a tape out of a VCR?
