tape out of VCR?

how do I get a tape out of a machine when it refuses to come out. Turning the power on and pressing eject, and the motor turns, but the tape does not come out. I want the tape but not the VCR (as its old) and I cannot find a repair place that will remove the tape without fixing the VCR.
