Default Accord - car ate tape adapter

My car ate my tape adapter. I cannot eject the tape and neither the tape adapter or radio work. I checked the fuse and it's fine. Anyone know how I can get this tape out?

All help is appreciated!!

No, the radio wont work because there is a tape in there (even though the tape wont work either)

What he means is, does the radio power on as usual? Why not buy a new radio with a CD player, problem solved.

Well obviously I could buy a new one but I'm a poor ol' college student and I would prefer to get this tape out if I could.

To answer your question - the unit does get power now.

It's a 95 accord and it's the system that came with the car (AM/FM + tape)
