SOURCE: Philco Turntable/CD with cassette
Sounds like a classic case of beltitis-most cd players incorporate a small belt attached to a motor and gear on the front of the unit,it either has went bad,bad meaning stretched out or it could be broke in two.Just because its new to you doesnt mean that it didnt sit in a hot warehouse for months before it was put on a retailers shelf.When rubber is subject to heat for long periods of time it breaks down the chemical which keeps elasticity.check that first,if the belt appears or seems to be in decent shape then clean the gear and belt with some isopropyl alcohol,environments like a restaurant which most likely have a lot of grease in the air can slowly built up on the parts inside causing things to slip,might as well spray some wd40 in there,if that isnt the case any of the above then you either have a bad motor ore bad motor ic,ok well good luck and have fun hope you get it going,i just found one in the dumpster that somebody was throwing away because the cd player does not work,good for me im a bench tech,the optic lens assembly is bad,for ten dollars i can replace it with a brand new one to keep this ****** rockin,bye

www.needlefinder.net They have about the best selection you can find. If you have the old cartridge, find the number on the cartridge and enter it into their search engine. If it's made, they can get it. Hope this helps

I don't know whether your philco is the same as my crosley, but I recently had an issue where the record player stopped turning and it bamboozled me to no end. After digging up the manual online, I found out that you had to lift up the tone arm and move it to the right (past the holding clip) until it clicked, and voila, the record player started spinning again.
I hope this helps!
