I need to make some use of two identical motors from some unidentified yet double deck cassette player and i don't know the wiring.Can anyone help with some information?

Five wire is unusual so no point guessing at the configuration.

You'll have to do some legwork but it seems it was used in various cassette decks so grabbing a manual for these should let you suss out the leads.

I tried to identify which casette player is but no succes yet.I have other mitsubishi motors from the same series with only two wires, but that can't help too much unless i open them all which isn't really the best option right now. The LKWG series seem to be of better make mechanically.


It's actually a 4 wire motor where the orange wire is in series with a 20nf cap, a diode and the red wire which may actually mean it' a 3 wire motor, the fourth being used for monitoring something
I thought that was weird until i found another two motors (Mitubishi mxmi-6b2hwa) with 4 wires , an external transistor attached to the case and two trimming pots for 2 speed , but at least for that one i have the manual as i know from which deck they are, yet i need the motors in the title for an experiment as they look like high quality ones.

I wouldn't like to guess but you could try powering it up with a current limited supply set to about 30 milliamps. I've replaced countless motors over the years and they were normally just a 12 volt supply with presets added between two of the leads for speed control.

There may or may not be a preset behind that hole as the motor case and back were common to many versions.

Try and find a service manual for one of those Technics decks and see what they show.
 
As i had 2 of them and needed just one, i opened one...it proved to have a smaller fully encased motor inside...so an6610, but now that i know the motor is smaller i'm thinking of some more modern ones...

Can you tell me what the problem is with the Motor. doesn't it start or ???
in your picture there is the L body is green color. The stripes are RED RED BLACK SILVER These have a tendency to break very easy. with brake I mean those will not pass any electricity and also if this is dead the motor will not turn.
Use Ohm Meter to check.. There are many older circuits where those were used an a FUSE, instead of a glas bulb..
But if it's just a connection problem then I think you will find out in no time..
Good luck
