Replace the capacitors in the power supply, a simple task.

Lubricate the motor.

Thank you very much Chiltern!
how many are the chances of a broken motor?

If it's from 1990 surely it will have either a Valhalla power supply internally or (late 1990) an external Lingo 1?

I suspect that someone has put the wrong oil in the bearing housing and the lining has swollen. I suspect there's also a problem with the motor thrust pad.

LP12 is a SN 81,500 from 1990
probably with Valhalla
the problem is with the belt / platter not connected, (free pulley)

Valhalla board bad and/or motor bad. Usually Valhalla boards had problems with age. A good excuse to buy a Lingo board (which is considerably better, and also less wear on the motor). With the Valhalla boards, they were always on. The Lingo is not always on except when you're using the turntable.
