radios (actually important)

[Joe Elliott <jee@domain.elided>]

Despite working fine when I got my GTV6 after it'd been sitting for 3 
years, and working fine as I played tapes for just about every second 
I was in the car over the last two years and 15,000 miles, after 
storing my car for three months between summer and Thanksgiving, I 
discovered to my horror that the tape deck no longer worked.  I have 
no interest in fancy new stereos, all I ask is that the cheap Sanyo 
receiver with a tape deck and digital tuning (those are the only 
features I want) work again (it's winter time so my "antenna" has to 
perform its other duty of defogging the backlight, so it's tapes or 
nothing).  Does anyone have any tips on a tape deck that, rather than 
playing tapes, starts pulling the media out of the cassette?  If not, 
does anyone have a twin-shaft receiver with a tape deck and digital 
tuning that they'd like to give me for Christmas (okay, maybe I'd be 
willing to buy one)?  If all else fails I'll find a cheap receiver on 
eBay, so my next question is how do I install a DIN stereo on a GTV6? 
Can I just buy some kind of metal sleeve at Radio Shack that the 
receiver slips into, and glue said sleeve into the car?

Thanks gang,
Joe Elliott
