Nakamichi MR-1 Motor Doesn't Spin...

I recently acquired a Nakamichi MR-1 that needed a new belt. Once I replaced the belt, the motor stopped turning entirely. I noticed when I first got it before installation of the belt, the motor was indeed functional. I can spin everything with my finger, so I don't think the belt is too tight. Besides, I even took the belt off to see if it would spin again and it doesn't.

What do I do?

Sounds like you broke something when replacing the belt. Or a mistake when doing re-assembly. Is the motor getting its required 12 VDC?
 
I own BX-100, BX-125 and RX-202, they are close enough in design and construction.

First, check the wires. On all 3 units wires came off in random places while I was working on them, no matter how careful I was. Changing a belt is a pretty involved procedure on these.
Check your cam and cam wires as you were working right next to that.
