My VCR at my videotape! How do I get it out?

Question

yea I know videotapes are old but one day I decided to play an old movie, and my VCR ate the tape how can I get the movie out without completely destroying the thing?

Answer 1

You will have to take the VCR cover off & see if you can wind any pulleys or motors back to wind your tape. If you can locate the loading motor you may be able to continually turn it until your tape ejects. You may also have to take the bottom cover off too & turn the idler or capstan (this will help rewind the tape back into the case). If you are careful you should be able to remove the tape without destroying it.

Answer 2

gun

Answer 3

remove the screws from the side or bottom of the video player lift off the top and you should be able to remove the tape :)
