That looks familiar; where have I seen it before?
Carmine,
I know the feeling. I had a Panasonic VCR which ate a cassette last year, and I literally had to wreck it to get the tape out. These modern VCRs aren't built anything like the ones from home video's early days (1970s; remember Sony Betamax?) and the first VHS units. If anything, anything at all, goes wrong with a VCR made in the last, say, 10 years or so (and all present ones, after the warranty expires), however, the best thing to do, IMO, is just put the thing out with the trash and buy a new one. The repairs would cost as much as or more than what you or I would pay for a brand new machine.
