Anybody knows if this is normal in this casette deck
that two capstan motors are rotating in idle mode?
Looks like not right that the belt needs to hold
the motor - I have cracked the belt linking two
capstan motor wheels but I am affraid the new one
will soon crack if it must to fight with the motor.

Where to look for the failure?

There is only one capstan motor, which the right flywheel is part of. It drives the left
flywheel, which is just a flywheel, with the belt. It is normal for the motor to run full time
when power is on.
