Rock-Olas from that vintage are pretty collectible. Beware the dreaded 6973 tube!
You will need to disassemble, clean and re-lube the gripper arm. Manuals are easily available, and parts are pretty easy to come by. These things were like TV sets, mostly different cabinets and slight mechanical variations.
