Tuntable Mechanics - easy just a good clean.

Firstly, i should point out that although the turntable is running, it seems to be stuck on a 'return & stop' cycle, the mechanics (being philips) look a bit unusual, has anyone fixed one before?

What's wrong with the main electrolytic if it powered-up ok on the Variac?
|
After powering up, the amp is working, albeit with dreadful mains hum, the smoothing cap is totally shot, i dont have any 50 + 50uF handy at present,
Will put in a 32+32uF this evening as a temperary fix.
On the up side, the plug in cartridge works well
, it is the same as my 1954
philips table radiogram, the original in that had leaked out a load of green gunge, so i gutted it & fitted a modern ceramic cartridge inside the original.
