Did pull capstan motor - found flywheel WAS contacting stator especially
when pinch roller was pressing on it (it did turn to load).
Stator was fine -so was magnet. Thrust plate on top would not hold
capstan shaft down far enough so magnet would clear stator.
Had to 'adjust' position of shaft in the flywheel. 'Adjust' means take a
punch and tap the shaft so it is higher in the flywheel.
Thanx to Mike and Jerry S. for the direction.

I have seen bad capstan motors on similar models. If you remove the motor
you can inspect the rotor. The magnet on the rotor is coated with a
chrome
like plating. The motor can be repaired by removing the chrome stuff and
sealing the magnet with superglue.Check the stator for opens because the
magnet can rub on them.
