[Coco] Dead Aussie CCR-82

[Bob Devries]

David, I'd guess that the drive belt has failed. The humming is likely to be 
the drive motor spinning away, but not driving the belt.

Disk Smith Electronics used to sell a kit of drive belts for Cassette 
recorders that may have something suitable. Best of luck.
