By the way, the AN6601 laid flat against the circuit board, with the
label side DOWN.

My vrt databook lists the TDA1151 and TDA1152 as equivalents for the
AN6610.

Which themselves are listed as "obsolete, discontinued, or hard-to-find".
IMHO, doesn't seem worth the effort for an 87-cent motor. YMMV

I can buy the AN6610 here in Australia for AU$2.75.

OK, then that would mean paying AU$2.75 to repair a motor
that likely isn't worth half that. Not to mention that without
knowing why the original blew, the OP has an excellent chance
of blowing up the replacement instantly. That doesn't make
sense up here in the Northern Hemisphere. Perhaps things
look different from your perspective. :-)

I just realised the OP's IC is an AN6601, whereas I've been looking
for an AN6610. smacks forehead

Anyway, if the motor is an odd type, or if the pulley is difficult to
remove, then it may make sense to try to repair the PCB. I remember
having to do this one time, although I had to make my own PCB, using a
different IC, and mounted externally. My effort wasn't wasted, though,
as I treated it as a learning experience.

BTW, over here audio motors typically cost AU$8.65, which is still
cheap.
