Hi Jim,

 Most likely the driver wheel is hardened or not turning the platen correctly.  It is easily removed and if you need someone to rebuild it, let us know and we can suggest.  Also, most of the time the mercury switches go bad, I know on mine, I ended up bypassing it in order to power up the record player motor for testing.  You can easily find a replacement mercury switch on line, or, like I did, find an old thermostat at a flea market and use that as a substitute.  Best of luck with it, I still have mind that I restored about 10 years ago and I enjoy it a lot.
