Usually, if there is anything at all holding the platter on, it is a

I had one that was direct-drive (every BSR changer I've seen has been
direct drive)
It sat in 'run' mode, unplugged, for a couple of years, and the next
time it was used, the drive tire had flat spots!

drivetrain. Good luck with your restoration project!
