It is possible that you have a bad Motor Run capacitor. They do go bad as they work hard to start up and keep the motor running at the design torque per the cap value. I have had to replace a number of motor run caps in a couple of vintage Sony and Tandberg reel players. Recommend this link for a service manual and parts list, etc.
