Default 12 Disk Cartridge stuck in CD Player

I bought a used 12 Disk CD Player and when I put in the cartridge, it became stuck and won't eject. Any ideas on how to get it out? I have another CD player which works just fine, but I want to get the cartridge out of the bad one. Thanks in advance.

I did do a search and didn't find anything on it.

I never had to open mine up but have opened up many different types of disc players over the years to clear whatever jam is in them. Last one was a BMW single cd player that had 4.5 discs in it, left from the previous owner.

read down to post #9 on the link below. It explains how to release the cartridge.

by the way, I searched "12 cd changer" in the audio section and got multiple threads with your issue

Yes, I went to the link and that helped. I just was mentioning that I had forgot about the other forum. Thanks - a big help.

Thin plastic should work. Like a drill bit sizer. Slide down and pull out quick. They seem to work the best. Pull it out and hope the cartridge pops out.. Philly
