Is There a possibility the bearing of the drum are frozen ?

Electric motors will draw considerable current if
they do not turn.
As the rpm builds a counter EMF develops which lowers the
current draw.
Before you install any replacement motors,
make sure the drum turns with minimum of
mechanical resistance.
I understand WD40 is not right for delicate machines.
( don’t understand why)

Any chance someone might have a  1  RPM   Synchronous Motor that's used on the drum recorders?
Preferably 12 Watts; I have a 6 watt one, but don't think it will hold up running my BIG drum.
They are made by Warren Telechro Company, Ashland, Mass.

Turned my system on today... there was a flash...
both lead wires are completely burned off the motor.
