He may not have to resort to such drastic measures.

  Simon, strip it, that would be Ian's solution trust me (smile).

  He would have every screw and component lined up in a neat order on the 
carpet, kneeling down in a corner as he did it.  Then he would come through to 
me and say: "Here you go, that's your talking book."  Then he would kneel again 
and put it all back together.  I must say I've always marvelled at his ability 
to do that sort of work without sighted assistance.

  Go for it.  If it's blown up, you've nothing to lose anyway (smile).

  Good luck.

    hello list, 
    does anyone know, if there is a way of getting a talking book out of a dead 
talking book machine? 
    mine seems to have blown up, and it just had to have a book I really wanted 
to listen to in it, but because the eject is powered, it won't work, and I 
can't get the book out in the normal way.
