Thanks a lot. I'll have a go at testing the motor again just to be sure. Can't think why it should be totally dead but maybe it happened early on which is why the player looks new inside. I'll PM you if I get stuck and thanks again.
Last night I noticed the so-called tyre on my pulley is really too worn to be of any use. I can see now it appears to be a friction drive so the worn tyre explains why there is so much wow and flutter. It may be really hard to get a spare pulley with tyre of the exact same size so I'm now thinking about making a tyre. Maybe using an O ring. I'm open to ideas, of course.
This has been quite educational. I never realised car cassette players were so cleverly designed with so many moving parts.
