I have this awesome boombox. I'm sure many know of it's legendary status. Not much for restoration frankly because it looks like it was just unboxed.

Anyways, I am working on it with an issue I can't seem to figure out. I disassembled it to replace a belt for the tape deck and upgraded to an LED on the tuner display which seems like many of you seem to do.

I got it all back together and I tried to play a tape and I am right back to square one. I can feel and hear the motor like it's trying to spin. But it doesn't.

At first I thought the motor was spinning when I disassembled it. But I was tired and maybe hoped that it was just the belt that needed replaced.

Has anyone else had this issue?

sounds like the belt might be too tight there has to be a little bit of free play or it will bind up the deck.
