| | | Audio Cassette Stuck in Sony TC-WR545 Tape Deck
Does anyone know how to release tapes from a dual well component tapedeck? The deck (approx. 15 years old) has never given any problems, but I ejected a cassette from drive A (left side) and put another in. The deck wouldn't play, nor would it eject the cassette. Drive B (right side) was operational, until I ejected the cassette that was in and put another one in. Then, it was as dead as side A. Now I have two inoperable tape drives and can't eject the cassettes from either. I've already broken one of the covers, but that got me no closer to a solution of extracting the tape. Any help would be appreciated!!!

| You may have to do some dissassembly to fix, Go slowly, don't force anything, remember where things went |

| Funny--I have the very same problem with the very same deck (I've left it in this condition for the past several months). Perhaps because the deck is 15+ years old? | |

| I would suspect the belts, look for any small motors and missing belts. You may be able to manualy turn a wheel or gear till it ejects. | |

| Thanks. It's definitely because it's 15 years old, I just wish my daughter's harry potter cassette wasn't stuck in there! I'll disassemble it and see which belts need replacing. But the important thing is to get the tape out. | |

| If you find the gear lacking belt you may be able to turn many times to eject.
Use to be a Company PRB Recorder or something like that had belts, I will take a quick look.
I'm back, found this: New Page 1 | |

| Amazing! I just had exactly the same failure that Mgar08 and cdjunkie had, in exactly the same order. has anyone discovered a good fix for this yet? This TC-WR545 deck has really been super and I'd like to keep it working. I don't even know if decks like this are still being sold. Thanks | |

| May not be belts, could be gears, with dissembly you may see what needs to be turned manually to unload should a motor be defective. | |
