I am still trying to figure out the reason for the
flywheel hole. Bearing replacement? Or, maybe the
flywheel & capstan tried to escape when the tapes &
frame were being butchered.

A (un)healthy layer of dust.

If it plays at all I bet the high register tapes
are a bit muffled. Look how close they are to the
motor (and its mag field).

Now I wonder what kind of custom engineering may
have been applied to the guy's guitars.
