You can use the tape drive motor itself as the lathe, just power it with a suitable voltage and current. I found about 10 V and enough current to prevent the stall worked for mine. Ideally you would remove the motor from the drive to prevent material removed from the new rotor from mucking something up, but if you are careful, you can probably shield the rest of the drive from the debris.
