I have a LPC 480 Seeburg Jukebox that scans, pick up the record, the needle touches the record, then returns the record to the carriage without playing. What can I do?

THIS JUKEBOX IS 40 YEARS OLD. LUBRICATION MAY BE THE PROBLEM. HERE IS HOW TO FORCE THE SEEBURG JUKEBOX TO PICK UP A RECORD AND PLAY A SONG. LOOK AT THE ARM THAT HOLDS UP THE NEEDLE AND CARTAGE. NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE RED ARM, ONE INCH TOWARD THE MOTOR, THERE IS A HORIZONTAL LEAVER LIFT IT UP A RECORD WILL GO INTO THE HEAD, THAT RECORD SHOULD PLAY THE SONG, IF THE LUBRICATION IS OK. IF THE RECORD GOES INTO THE HEAD, AND THEN PUTS THE RECORD BACK IN THE RACK. YOU HAVE A LUBRICATION PROBLEM. THAT IS A TOUGHT MACHINE TO FIX IOF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT. DOCTOR FIX IT.
YOU ARE SAYING THE MOTOR DOES NOT SPIN. TRY TO SPIN THE DRIVE SHAFT ON TOP OF MOTOR . DOES THE SHAFT TURN EASY. IF NO THEN YOU HAVE A MOTOR OR LUBRICATION. PROBLEM. DOES THE SCAN SWITCH, WHEN PUSHED TO SCAN DOES IT SCAN. IF IT SCANS BACK, AND FORTH 2 TIMES, YOU THEN HAVE A COIN CREDIT PROBLEM (MOST LIKELY ) ANSWER THE TWO QUESTION, OR STATEMENT. TO GET A MORE INTELLIGENT REPLY. YOU HAVE OVER 2000 PARTS IN THAT MACHINE. YOU HAVE GIVEN A (WHY DONT IT WORK QUESTION.)( there is no answer to the question. because of limited problem info)
Check out the tormat on your jukebox. It runs almost the full length of the mechanism. On the tormat is the A and B side contacts and a ground rail. You will see that on the mechanism is a arm that runs over these contacts on it it has very fine wire links (similar to those on motor brushes) these can become disconnected and may require being resolderd back into place.
