Well done David! It does look like in this case that the mechanics are to blame. Perhaps someone dropped it? I seem to remember pressing the pulley back on with a vice, or a hammer and block, and your mention of heat makes me remember (imagine?) playing a blowtorch around it.

There's quite a lot of slop in the motor on the CR 210 I have here, so I don't think the pulley location on the shaft is that critical. When it starts up, the belt pulls the shaft out of the motor housing a little way, presumably to align itself with the forces at play.
