How can I check to see if something is slipping? Is there a belt?

I would doubt there is any belt. More likely the spindle motor's
lubrication has dried up too much.

In some cases these motors can be taken apart and relubed, but this is
not a job for the squeamish! Too many things can go wrong...

I'd attempt it on my own gear, and have been successful, but I fix
things all day long, so have lots of practice in taking things apart in
such a way that they are likely to work when I put them back together.
