jammed disc in tascam 564

[sonatapg]

I bought a Tascam 564 in 1999 and used it without trouble for 6-7 years.

It has been unused in the handmade carying case in my home since then.

Last week I powered it up inserted a disc. Apparently the disc didn't load properly and shows

disc loading. I can see the disc but I can't remove it using the eject button.

Any help appreciated. I don't want to spend any money to repair the machine.

But I would like to get my disc out.

Thanks in advance.

That sounds eerily similar to the (?) design flaw in MDS-JE510 which dates from about that period (when Tascam would have made the deck). Jim Hoggarth is the expert on that and can, at the least tell you how to get the disk out.
