Hi GarageJunky,
I have not worked on this one (I may have seen one 60 years ago as a kid but it worked). Try this:
Remove the platter and the capstan roller.
Attempt to shift between all 3 speeds.
Can you?
If you can't move through all 3 speeds, at least with these parts removed, you should be able to see the issues. If you can move the speed selector through all 3 positions, then reinstall the idler wheel and repeat. If all is well, then reinstall the plater. If it jams with the idler wheel in place, look for the reason.
Hope this helps.
