Yamaha KX-1200 Capstan Motor

[StarWars2000]

Hi,

I have a Yamaha KX-1200 capstan motor that is fluctuating in speed - just on its own, without any belt or load. It also sounds noisy. I would like to take the motor apart to clean it but am unsure how to get it apart without breaking it. I have it pulled from the cassette deck. Any known, proven detailed suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If I can't repair it, where can I buy an exact replacement for it?

The capstan motor # is: Sankyo BFA2L28

Thank you.

I'm not sure if an exact replacement motor would be available other than from a parts deck where you pay your money and take your chances on its condition. You may want to investigate the motor described in the attached link as a possible substitute.
