rega planar 2 - platter won't turn

hello,
i just picked up a used rega planar 2 from a thrift store ,only to find that the glass platter will not turn when the unit is switched on.

with the platter off, the motor, belt, and center hub all rotate with ease. when the platter is placed on the center hub, only the motor continues to rotate (no movement in center hub or belt).

as this is a used item from a thrift store, i have no idea of it's past history. the tonearm, cartridge, and base all seem to be in great condition...hopefully, i'll be able to turn this cheap find into a working unit.

any thoughts regarding this would be great.

thanks,
john
