HAHA Yea Ive seen my share of 8 tracks too. Might just be time to change the head unit out. New aftermarket unit with all the stuff you need for an install should be under $150ish. Will depend a lot on the unit and if you install it yourself.

Aww, no one seems to have love for stock head decks...
I say take it to an auto electrician, they will have, or know of a person to help you with fixing the original unit if you want to retain it. Seems there may be a dry solder join or perhaps the tape "heads" are dirty, and this is a warning feature?

the radio is a stock 91 rx7 unit with cd and cassete players . The readout face just flashes "Tape" constantly . This all started after I tried to insert a cassette but it just kept spitting it out . I guess the tape player is shot . Now I can't see the radio station on the read out screen ...thanks all
