Ive found that all brands of changers usually need work, they all have grease and rubber parts that need to be renewed with age. on a BSR, take off the turntable, then remove the cam gear and clean the old grease out of the grooves in the cam , that usually solves a lot of the issues. Grease and oil oxidize, dry out, and pick up dust and dirt over time. look for anything else that has gummy grease on it, clean with Q tips and rubbing alcohol, and sparingly re grease. Don't lubricate parts that were not lubed originally. check the condition of the motor mounts and idler wheel while youre at it. Later BSR changers usually don't need to be completely disassembled, just work on one portion at a time. Usually you can get them working with that approach.
