Hi Bill, those record changers in the older Maggie's, are made by Collaro, in England, and rarely need much to get them going, mechanically, aside from cleaning and re-lube. The "record tapping" is a strange looking, but normal function, to index the tone arm, to land on the record correctly. I've found that the solid state Astro Sonic, used cheaper caps, that need replacing. I have one that I've cleaned all controls, have it working and sounding nice, except for FM Stereo, it's fine in mono, but I have to re-cap the FM MPX section. Over the years, I've owned several Magnavox tube stereo consoles, and a couple solid state Astro Sonic models. They look and sound quite nice, for what they are, when repaired. Best of luck with your restoration, I hope the TV section is an easy fix.
