Bison 08-04-2008, 10:17 AM i got a tape stuck in tapedeck on my 89[see sig],cant use the radio either. is there any way to get it out without without wrecking the whole contraption? jmay2174 08-04-2008, 11:28 AM GM Manual says - send to authorized repair station. OR..... check Ebay for a replacement. vstech 08-04-2008, 01:58 PM is that a manual eject button on that deck? try putting it in rewind and then hit the eject... screw in a slide hammer and whack whack whack... 289Ksofar 08-04-2008, 09:22 PM No manual eject, unfortunately.:( Best way is to pull the unit from the dash and get it to some old TV guy or some car stereo guru. Have them take the unit apart to get the tape out properly, then reinstall. Then at least, you can use the radio again...:o: BTW, that location where the tape deck sits is where an aftermarket stereo would install.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=249699 Bison 08-05-2008, 11:50 AM No manual eject, unfortunately.:( Best way is to pull the unit from the dash and get it to some old TV guy or some car stereo guru.

I dont want to spend a cent on getting it fixed,truck,s body is to far gone for that. i had hoped there was a little trick to get that stupid tape dislodged. No big deal,radio plays mostly carbage anyway 289Ksofar 08-05-2008, 10:13 PM Manual eject? Wow, I thought all the '88-up C/K trucks used the auto-reverse player mounted in the center (separate from the radio)... Oh, well. And you're right, sometimes the only thing good on my radio is the traffic report. I suggested a guru not for the purpose of shelling money out, but because some of the TV/VCR repairmen of the past would relish the challenge of getting the tape out for you, gratis. Deere3594 08-05-2008, 10:15 PM I got one out once by sticking a screw driver down in there and "hitting" something just right. Its been years though.. 0lee 08-06-2008, 02:11 AM If it has manual eject, you should be able to take out the cassette and to carefully fumble out the part of the tape that's stuck in it ... 82 chevy k10 08-06-2008, 05:10 PM get a small flat screwdriver and "dig around" in there to try and jar loose what ever is stuck, that is if it has the manual eject. Sounds like you don't care if you ruin the tape deck, you just want your radio back so you really can't screw anything up! later, robert Bison 08-07-2008, 01:24 AM man i have been prying with 2 screwdrivers and needle nose pliers to get that stupid thing to come up out of the turntable pins,but it wont budge. i also have been stabbing with a long thin screwdriver at any thing worth poking at inside and its still stuck. Now i can try a crowbar but i'm afraid that will upset the alinement of the dash somewhat, and my wife is not entirely in favour of that aproach,cause she figgures the interiour does'nt nessecerely has to match the outside look of this rustbucket. and yes it is a midmount tapedeck with those slide levers at the side to alter the sound, i dont know what to call that thingemedjingy. and it has a eject button that oviously is not to keen:boxing: to co-operate. 0lee 08-07-2008, 01:53 AM Hmm, what if you take the radio out, open it up and see if you can get the tape out then? | ||
