Yes, German radios while good while working, used some things that made them vulnerable.
One of them, and it seems to plague 100% of the particular model with the acoustics I have, is the foam ring in he main speaker - it turned to dust in every single radio.
This rubber thing would be doomed eventually too. The changer relies on it for all the records not to fall down.
Unfortunately there are no good pics of it in either of the two docs I have.
I almost feel like becoming a RadioMuseum member: it seems like the best [lace so far with the restoration of German radios is there.
In fact I found a thread where a guy in the US needed the spindle for the same changer I have and someone there just gave it to him for the price of shipping it here.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
