i've got a tape stuck in a boombox
it's stuck on play, and won't stop or eject
i can pause it, and i can unplug it
but neither disengages the playhead or whatever needs to happen for me to take the tape out
so what do i do? (helful answers only plz)

Well since you solved the problem yourself...I'll commence with the smartass replies.
What ? You're still using tape ?

Progaff or Permacell?


No the real question is what was on the tape?

Since you mentioned it, the Concert DVD for which I was primary frontlight comes out June 03, exclusively here. I can't wait to watch it to see my mistakes.
