Cassette player's wheels not spinning at all ever :(

Hi, I recently took in a very old & dusty cassette player from my mother, who was going to throw it out. Today when I tried playing something on it, it didn't work.

It's an ITT Golf Cassette 230 which works fine in every other aspect but this one.

The problem is when pressing play, none of the wheels seem to turn and the only sound it makes is constant electric buzzing that only ceases once I pressed stop/eject.

Even without a cassette inside, the wheels still don't turn when pressing play, although (and I know you're not supposed to do this) when turning them manually, they could, meaning they're not stuck by anything.

I asked my mother, who gave me the player, but she said that it's just broken now and there's nothing I can do. Is that correct?

Thank you in advance.

@cspr230 it's never broken until it is good and broken! Even then it's not broken but can probably be reused for something else :-). On here, we do not believe in broken things.

Anyhow, this actually sounds like either a motor issue or just simply a broken drive belt. If you can post some good picture off this player. Attach those to your Question. That way we can see what this look like. I have not heard anything about ITT for a long time and am actually surprised to see that people may still have those. I knew those as ITT Schaub Lorenz :-)

Make sure that it is okay with your parents, for you to work on it.

@oldturkey03 thank you for answering! Yes, it's okay for me to work on, no one besides me really wants it.

You'd need pictures from the inside where the cassette goes, yes? It is pretty difficult to get any good pictures from that angle, but I'll try.

@cspr230 start with a couple of pictures from the outside so we can get a feel for what this looks like.
