JVC turntable--broken motor? (by 2 users)
I have an old JVC L-A120 turntable. I finally got around to ordering the belt for it, but now that I've gotten it installed (correctly, I might add), it's still not working. The drive pulley rotates if it's uninhibited, but once I put the belt on, it stops completely. Is it possible the motor's going bad? Do I need to oil it? (And if so, what exactly is involved?) I don't really want to put much money into this (it's just my parents' old turntable), so please let me know if you have an idea of how much this may cost me to take care of.
Thanks so much for any help you can offer!

Just like Eusters, I also have an old JVC L-A120 turntable which has worked with no problem for many years, even up until a few weeks ago. The belt looks reasonable but I have ordered a new one anyway. But I am not sure how to fit it correctly - on my other, even older, JVC deck (JL-A20) the plattern simply lifts off. But the plattern does not seem to lift on this one.
As with Eusters, the capstan drive wheel seems fine and rotates if it's uninhibited. But the plattern itself will not spin freely and am sure will not not turn even with a new belt. Anybody know what has happended?
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Screw on the side of the bearing holder (underneath the turntable)
The platter has seized (or just tight) to the center spindle.
I would suggest the latter

The bearing could need lubricating.

No it doesnt spin freely.
But how do I take off the turntable platter to lubricate?
