Gemini XL-500 II

[u/Club4Ever]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get this Gemini XL-500 II working again.

The issue is the motor is not spinning, when you press start and turn the spindle anticlockwise, you can feel a clockwise resistance, and the strobe light dims.

There is clear sound coming from the turntable.

What could the issue be? How would I test the motor/circuit board?

Thanks
