That motor is supposed to slow down as the disk gets further done . All
cd players do that .
It takes a pretty free spining motor to run right at such low speeds .
Put a drop of oil at the top bushing .
I have had some luck running the motor isolated like already mentioned
but using 6 or 9 volts to blow the carbon out of it so to speak ... that
may or may not last . New motors are cheap

Unfortunately the motor was slowing down too much and the audio was
breaking up horribly and then the motor would eventually stop.

I will probably replace the motor

Thanks
