Generic problem for all VCRs
Tape stuck in RCA VR501
We had a videotape that automatically rewound and in the process, it got stuck & at some point chewed. I'm not worried about the tape anymore. My problem is that the tape is half in/half out of the VCR. I can't pull or push it back in, and the eject button isn't working. I took the top off and could not get the loading tray to move in one direction (preferably completely ejected) or the other. What can I do?

This could require a tech savvy person to help you, but maybe...
You might be able to remove the tape carriage assembly (this is the assembly which loads and unloads the tape). There will be 2 or 4 screws which hold this assembly in place. It is possible however, these screws are "covered up" by the tape being there.
These mechanisms are often gear or gear-like driven. If you see these gears, you might be able to turn them (or the motor which runs them) by hand, and get the tape fully unloaded. Use care- modern VCRs (since the early '90s) are easily broken, or the thin metal bent.
Also, the gears must be exactly in time- that is, exactly positioned with each other. Being off by just one tooth will result in a non-working mechanism.
