Magnavox Console unknow model and Info

I am hopeful that someone will have some information on a model of vintage Magnavox console with a unique design. It has a pull out and down front to it to expose the radio and record player and a center area for room to house an 8 track player, I believe. The console that I have sounds very nice with large corner speakers and record storage in the center of the unit. It is about 53 inches long and 22 high. The record player currently spins but makes a clicking sound and I would like to know where I could have that serviced and maybe some help to figure out how to remove it. I am attaching some photos and hope that someone out there has some information as this unit has no model listed on the back. It is in very nice condition and I would like to see the record player work again as the rest of the unit plays very nice!

It's a 1970's unit for sure.
The changer has two plastic sliding covers over anchoring screws, but I think underneath is the key to removal.
I'd have to see the setup.

Indeed it's probably overdue for maintainence..... they are are, after decades of neglect.
People didn't think these things needed it periodically, they thought they'd perform fine without it.
Do cars?...... if you neglect them?

Thanks Matt for the information! I will take a look to see if I can remove the changer and then look for someone locally that is good with repair. I have a Zenith "Circle of Sound" stereo/changer that needs the same thing. The radios work fine, but I would sure like to see the changers on these machines drop records and play them again. Thanks again for the post!
