How can I get coins out of a cassette deck?

Answer by  Aya (797)

If you can remove it, tip it upside down and shake. If not, try a pair of tweezers and a flashlight; it sounds simple, but it's much easier than dismantling the thing.

Just take the whole unit apart. YOu can do this with a set of smaller screwdrivers. Jsut make sure you keep the screws you take out straight so you know where they go back in at.

Purchase a pair of needle-nose tweezers. Use a penlight to illuminate the deck if needed. Use the tweezers to gently grasp and remove the coins without damaging the deck.

Unfortunately, US coins no longer contain enough magnetic metals to make this job easy. However, this should be pretty easy, as long as the coins haven't gotten lodged anywhere. Open the "window" of the cassette deck and insert a regular #2 pencil, eraser side first. The rubber eraser will help to "grab" the coin and guide it out.

Un-Plug ALL batteries/cords (ESPECIALLY A/C-POWER) from your-cassette-deck. If your-motor-vehicle's dash-mounted-cassette-deck; Then obtain (Chilton/Haines/OEM) car's-repair/service-manual for how-to remove/re-install cassette-deck. Then carefully, Use long-needle-nose-pliers/tweezers to grab some-coins. Remove cassette-deck-case-cover(s) by removing the (usually-Phillips)screws & sticky-taping-them. Over a clear-area/empty-box: Rotate cassette-deck 360-degrees/3-axis to drop screws, Repeat needle-nose/tweezers-grab, Repeat until clear. Reassemble (cover/screws/re-mount).

Well, just try playing around with the disk. See if they come out by force. Otherwise, try using a sharp utensil or instrument and taking them out. Worst comes to worst, you can show the disk to a repairs men and he can take them out for you if it means a lot.

Remove carefully the screws that hold it together, taking care to mark where you remove each of them.When it is possible to have a slight space from where they can slide, tilt it so you will not have to dismantle the whole machine until all the coins are out, taking care not to break the connecting wires.

Well, I think try using a sharp instrument or a form to try to get them out of there. If that doesn't work, get a technician.
