I repaired 2 record changers last year, just by taking them apart cleaning and lubricating them, and putting them back together. The belt drive unit in my 61 Zenith (which I took apart completely) and the V-M changer in my 66 Zenith (which I took apart only partially). In neither case did I completely understand how it all worked, but the 61 Zenith now works exactly as it should, and the 66 V-M still has some issues when I use it as a changer, but works fine manually.

I did the same to this unit, which was initially just frozen stuck. I partially disassembled it, cleaned, lubed it, and put it back together - but it just keeps rejecting or gets stuck now, mostly gets stuck. I can tell for certain that the rubber idler wheel is dried out and slipping. But I think there is something else wrong with it too.
