I have a Mitsubishi VCR that used to work fine, but recently cassettes now fail to load, and prior to that, cassettes failed to eject.
I've had a look inside the unit, and found the cassette "basket" or "cage" stuck about halfway along the range of movement that the cage makes when loading and ejecting cassettes. The cage is slightly askew. I tried straightening it and moving it by hand carefully, but the cage will not move.
Powered the VCR off and then back on, and tried the eject button on the VCR. There is a whirring sound like an electric motor running, but the cage will not budge.
The VCR will probably require professional attention.
Anyone else have have a similar issue? And if the issue was resolved, how?
