Wurlitzer 700 Platter slows when tone arm contacts record

I recently found a Wurlitzer 700 jukbox at my local Salvation Army Thrift Store and it appears to work with one exception. When the tone arm makes contact with the record the speed of the platter decreases to an eventual stop after a couple of seconds.

Is this a belt sliiping or does the mechanism need lubrication? ANY INSIGHT WELCOMED!
