Well it is Philips, hence it's strange . The worm and wheel arrangement is part of the auto mechanism, as you've obviously deduced, and is prone to wear and becoming gummed-up.

Incidentally, the 3016 head is long since obsolete as I said earlier - but you can still obtain the GP235 head which is a direct replacement, albeit with a flipover stylus and thus non-rocking.
