Well I have repaired quite a few V-M Record players over the past couple of years mainly in a 1962 vintage Motorola Suitcase record player that is a high end 3 channel unit and on an old mono Hi-Fi unit that I fixed for my land-lord and in my 1967 Zenith console stereo. and I find that they are relatively easy to take apart and clean and relube, I used a can of Standard Cup Grease to relube my turntables and it seems to work pretty good (its pretty similar to the original grease that they used on these units years ago) and anyways I've always found that on all of the V-M record players I've worked on that the trip lever on the tone arm underneath for tripping the changer mechanism at the record is almost always bent so that it doesn't trip the changer mechanism anymore at the end of the records, so basically I have to rebend the trip lever back to a position so that it can trip the changer mechanism again.
Just my 2 cents concerning working on the old V-M record players.
