Cassette won't eject

Hi,
I put a cassette in the factory radio and now it won’t eject. Does anyone know how to eject the cassette? It seems the radio may have to be removed and opened up, but I was hoping someone might now of a way to manually eject the cassette.

Buying a new radio is not an option since it works fine when a cassette is not in.

Charger,

I think it might be time to upgrade. If you need a replacement radio, I think I have the stock radio from my 1992 D350 still around. You can have it if you want just pay the shipping.

As I mentioned in my first post buying a new radio was not an option. Well I got my radio working again and hopefully what I learned might help someone else with a cassette stuck in the raido.

I ended up taking the radio out and removing its face plate. Once the face plate was off you can see a manual eject lever/button to the upper right of where the cassette slips in. If I knew where to look I could have manually ejected the cassette without having to remove the radio.

However, removing the front of the dash allowed me to replace some burnt out bulbs and find the short that was blowing my lighter fuse.
