Cassette player spits out the tapes! Help!?

Question

I have a Blauplunkt radio cassette in my car, and it spits the tapes out! Help as I can't stand only having the radio to listen to!

You load the tape in, it all lights up, but then it shoots it back out again =o(

Help! I cant afford to get a new one fitted!!

If your headlight dims with the bass notes, this might work.  If not an H.O. alternator will be needed, or else be prepared to pour a lot of $$$ for batteries.

Answer 2

it looks like its knackered

save up for a cd player

Answer 3

There's something stuck in the tape mechanism - probably a bit of tape label.  You need a small torch and a long pair of tweezers.  Prop open the tape door (something like an emery board or a lolly stick is ideal), look inside using the torch and pull out any bits of paper you can see.

Answer 4

Answer 5

This is not any easy fix , the tape is shooting out because the motor is feeling a resistance associated with a cassette that has ended , why this is happening is at a guess ,there is something causing it to jam , you could try a squirt of WD40 into the player , this will lubricate it ,failing that remove it and open the player to visually check for obstructions

Answer 6

it wants split and cleaned...tape rollers will be contaminated,...
