I figured it out. I was simply being too gentle. The pan needs to be pulled up hard at each end to pull wedges free of a spring clip.

To lock it for transport, push down hard at each end of pan until the hold-down knobs pop up. Then to release, push the knobs down and it should pop free on the springs again.

The changer mechanism looks much like a Voice of Music with a similar sliding bar driven by a wheel post.
The rest of mechanism and linkage looks different from any V_M. Maybe it was a custom design by them for Sears.
The motor was made by Alliance manufacturing (Tenna Rotor) and likely is a replacement dated MAY 25 '67.

It needs the usual lube-turned-to-wax removed and re-lubed again.
