I was trying to reconnect an ampolifier inside the case of a long unused home-made record player. It was on its side and flipped over. Althought everything looks intact, the motor will now not start. Power is getting as far as a plug that fits into the motor.

I don't know whether to hang on to it or dump it. Who would want it not working?
