That looks awfully suspiciously like the one in HMV R54 which I think is a Collaro. If so it is the most over designed swine of a thing I have ever seen.

What tends to happen with it, as a major issue, is the plate in the middle of the works. The grease soap dries out & forms a glue and then nothing moves as its bound together. It will likely need a circuit board cleaner, or kerosene applied cautiously, to get it all unstuck.
