Any Hope for This VCR ?

[MegalosSkylaki]

VHS tape got stuck in VCR. After repeated efforts to finesse it out, lost patience and just pulled with a memory stick tweezer.

Tried another tape and held breath.

Nope, can't get it into playing position. Stays up high.

Wouldn't bother, except this is a full S-VHS , both record and playback deck. Not easy to find Super-VHS with SVHS Record --except in high-end expensive machines with lotsa other features.

Any hope to salvage its function ?

DOOOOOOOOOOOOG

I very recently had what sounds like a similar problem. Cost me $35 for repair. Only did repair cause it hadn't been used much and matched the rest of my system..Most shops will give free estimate.
