Default Re: Philips N2204 - Pristine but Not Playing

You're making progress!
A key point (which I don't know the answer to) is whether the electronics are disconnected during rewind. If so, that makes fault finding easier as the problem is confined to the motor and its control circuitry. Does the motor spin nicely? I'd suggest disconnecting it and see if the short is still there.
My next port of call would be to measure the resistance of the electrolytic capacitors, if that makes sense, to look for a short circuit. You might need to desolder one lead of each to confirm. A good capacitor will measure hundreds of ohms, increasing rapidly to almost an open circuit.
Hopefully this won't be too hard a fault to find.
