There will be more stuff I need later, as I havent even started messing with the little turntable yet. I think the little rubber cam wheel on the mechanism is shot, too.

There are two basic mechs used in all of the RCA 45 changers, RP-168 and RP-190. Mechanical service data here:

The RP-168 is the earlier unit, usually has a swept tonearm design and a reject button on the front panel. The RP-190 is later and more common, usually has a slide switch Off-on-reject on the plinth and a zigzag tonearm. Note that there is no automatic shutoff, they will play the top record on the stack until the cows come home.

These little guys have a real cult following. There's even a recent book on them, rather thorough and well-written.
