Jukebox failure

I have a 1954 Seeburg HF100 which has suddenly decided not to release the record back into the rack once the record has finished playing and the arm just sits there while the record spin. It's been as good as gold for the last 9 years. Any ideas most welcome please!

Most likely a wire broke off the trip switch. See pic:

Your question indicates that you may not be familiar with maintenance of that machine, particularly oiling, have you got a service manual?

Also, was this machine restored before you bought it? If not the amp really needs to be restored or you run a real risk of burned out transformers due to shorted or leaky capacitors.
