I suspended restoration of a GE model H 51 (similar to Radiola 80) with a frozen cap due to pot metal expansion.
That's a shame. I like that cabinet on the H51.

Yes, it does turn freely. It was quite stiff at first, but I gradually worked in some oil and grease.
The pulleys may be pot metal, but I don't think the rest is.
