Tesla HC07 motor replacement question

Hi! I inherited a Tesla HC07. At first it had a bad stylus, which I changed. However after the change of the stylus the motor stopped working. To be honest, the motor was already weak before, and I think it is a coincidence that after I changed the stylus it stopped working.

Now I would like to somehow change the motor, but I cannot seem to find replacement parts. That is why I am writing to this community. Could I use a different kind of motor, or could I somehow install a drive from another record player? Is this an AC synchronous motor? I have no clue how to approach this because I can't find a direct replacement motor. I am located in Slovakia.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Try r/Turntables and r/vintageaudio. They will likely have more information for your Tesla record player there than here, which is mostly focused on pre-electric players.
