In my case it was a sliding copper bush, where the
lubrication had become stuck.
So my first try would be to open it up, clean and lubricate
the moving/running parts, then check out (limit)switches
for corrosion.
Also check rubber bands for aging. |

Don't know that model, but such speed selections are often by means of
stepped pulleys.
Inspect and look for something stuck (e.g. by hardened grease).

You will have to remove the turntable to get at the stepped pulley.
That means taking the mounting plate off of the base, in most cases.
