Hi,
I have this Philips EL 3585 which unfortunately has a "dead" motor...Everything else works but the motor doesn't turn when pushing the PLAY (I took a look, all the belts are in place). If I move the tape manually, you can hear the sound.
Mechanically, the motor looks OK. Even the mechanic speed regulator looks OK. All the contacts have the elasticity as they should...
I suspect (I am not a guru though) that is some electrical fault...maybe that electrolytic condenser in the motor feeding circuit?
I think that this is a systematic issue for this product as I heard other people complaining for the same situation...
Thankyou!

Hello Rebus,
The service manual is here
In this case I would check (and replace) the pinch roller.(Electrolyte capacitors and women are not always the cause of problems
)
Anyway,does the capstan rotate when pushing the play?
Good luck to repair!

I was mentioning: the motor doesn't work! No motion at all, although electricity is present in the rest of the circuits...Somehow, the electricity doesn't get to the motor...It seems that this is somehow a systematic issue for this product...I read similar opinions in different articles...
So, any idea on what can cause this situation?
Thanks!
