Hello.
While the machine is playing, press the pause/still button to get a still picture. I suspect that the problem will still be there. If it is, you have just eliminated most of the mechanism.

Without seeing the machine it sounds like the drum, motor, or servo are the most likely culprits.

Good luck.
