My cassette deck won't give me my tape back

[2oodoor]

the deck is still low quality. i remember i used the Ipod adapter....haha cassette with a lil wire to hook it up and i could hear the deck mechanism more than the music....thats why my newer deck has a aux input....straight and direct and no moving parts.

yes I can see that being a problem..
if tapes were not going to be played anymore anyway, I would pull the plug on the tape motor as long as it was not the same motor that operated the carriage that pulls the tape in.

Frantik - you are welcome to my stock deck if you don't mind a drive up to Union City (CA) to come and get it. I like the stock decks too. Upgraded mine to a later model.

Problem with the cassette was that the heads probably became magnetized. The tape will then wrap around the head and the cassette won't eject. You need to periodically run a demagnetizer through the deck and it should be fine.

If you want my deck, PM me.

I say, use brutal force to get the tape out, and keep the tape deck :p
My stock Alpine tape deck is the pride of my sedan

w00t fixed my tape deck today I was fooling with the headunit the other day and found it was really easy to remove the cassette player assembly from the deck.. so i went to pick and pull and found an identical stereo in a prelude, pulled the cassette assembly, paid $6 and got my stereo back to normal

Nice work!

Way to keep it old-school with the tape deck. I only wish I could be so hardcore.
