When I turn on my garbage disposal I can hear the motor spin up, and down

The turntable with the hammers is not spinning, though. The table plus
hammers kind of wobbles around in the grinding chamber when I poke at it
with a stick. It seem loose. Maybe not connected to the motor drive shaft??

Water flows freely through the unit.

Any ideas for repairs or do I buy a new one? It is 25 years old.

If your time is worth more than a dollar an hour, you should just
replace the thing.
