Accessing Belt on Immedia RPM2 Turntable

The platter on my Immedia RP2 won’t turn after placing the toggle switch to the play position.  Where is the most likely source of the problem:

- power supply toggle switch is defective

- power supply not providing power to the turntable

- motor in the turntable no longer operating

- belt broken


Does anyone know how to open up the Immedia RPM2 turntable to gain access to the motor and belt?  I’m staring at the turntable and am perplexed how it even opens up. 
 

Also I believe I have several new belts somewhere but can’t find them.  Does anyone know how I can acquire a new belt if I need one?

Does anyone know how to repair an Immedia RPM2 to turntable and change the belt. 
 

I’m new to Audiogon.  Forgive my ignorance in addressing audio related questions.

Yes, I talked to Allen very briefly many years ago and know he works as a consultant for MoFi Electronics. If I don't receive any feedback on my issue from Audiogon members, I'll call MoFi and see how to get an email to Allen.  I've called the Immedia number and expectedly it is out of service.  Thanks for yor assistance.

Thanks for the source of the info.  I shall go to the Vinyl Engine and print out the relevant information.  The problem Is the platter won’t turn when the toggle switch on the power supply is flipped to the play position.  I have to locate the source of the problem first.  The second part of the problem is just me.  As I said I apologize for my ignorance in addressing audio related problems.  I’ve never had an issue with the turntable in 25 years (I can’t remember exactly when I bought it).  I haven’t even flipped the turntable over yet, since I have to remove the tonearm and empty the oil reservoir.  I was just perplexed 🧐 on how the whole thing comes apart and was wondering if someone might lead me to the most common source for the platter not turning.  
 

I’ll get back to everyone on how I am doing in fixing the problem and seek any further advice if I need it.  

I’ll be more thoughtful and try to be better prepared and do more research going forward if I have an audio related problem.  Mea Culpa.

I actually had a copy of the RPM2 tonearm information from the The Vinyl Engine.  Apparently I had registered a very long time ago as I had a username and password.  However due to inactivity, my account was suspended.  This requires me to reregister.  However, The Vinyl Engine has been closed to new registrations because of "abuse of its policy of free information".  So I am unable to obtain or even look at the manual for the turntable on The Vinyl Engine.

I will seek information from Vinyl Asylum and see if someone can direct me to a source for the manual for the Immedia RPM2 turntable.  

If you know of a source for the manual, please let me know.

Thanks.
