I can spill the compressor with my hand .

Maybe the belt snapped and fell off. Are the pulleys shiny where it would have been?

All of it or just the pulley? The pulley spins free until the clutch engages.

Can you turn the middle bit? Even just a little to check it's not seized.

Fit a belt, make sure there is gas and try it. Nothing to lose.

Nothing it won't engage if there is no gas pressure to close inhibit switch.
