Dismounting all mechanics

Today I worked the whole day with dismounting the record magazing and the Gripper machanism. The Gripper was almost impossible to remove as it was faulty engaged and it was stuck on its center shaft as the grease hard like glue.
But with my heat gun and WD40 I was able to "melt" the frozen grease so the outer green cogwheel came loose.

Mechanics are so dirty and rusty so I wounder if I ever will get this piece of crap to work....?


The Record Magazine needs a major cleaning/painting and the 30 tabs/springs on the outside of the magazine will not be so funny to refurbish.
