I'm shocked but the "Shaking it" suggestion actually worked! Here's what I did: (1) Unplugged power and any output cables. (2) Turned the unit upside down. (3) Dropped it from an inch or two onto carpet. I didn't plan on fixing the unit today I was just dusting it off and removing it from its shelf so I could dust that. When I powered on again the Bose made its normal CD mechanism noises but about 1/4" of the CD came out so I grabbed it and out it came! NOTE: I haven't tried inserting/playing a CD! I have the external 3 CD player from Bose (which is working fine) So for now I just won't play CD's directly from the Bose Wave Radio. NOTE 2: :-) My curiosity got to me. Currently I can insert, play, eject, a CD from the main player.
