vcr eject tape not working

I have a Hitachi VCR which all of a sudden does not eject the tape. It plays beautiful while watching the tape. Any idea what I can do?.
Thank you

Pop the top off and take a look. The eject mechanism is frequently belt driven, though it may be straight gear driven. If it's belt, it probably just broke. This may be a simple fix, except it may require a bit to take things apart to replace the belt. Of course the real challenge is putting it all back right. Anyway, look at it and see if you're up to the challenge. It would really be jus tfor fun, since you can get a dvd/vcr for well under a hundred bucks. And who knows, maybe it's just jammed.
