Thorens TD 180 Stuck on 78 speed

I resently got my turntabl out of storage from a move and tested it
out all 3 speeds are stuck on 78 what needs fixing or is a new part
that is needed?

In my case it was a sliding copper bush, where the
lubrication had become stuck.
So my first try would be to open it up, clean and lubricate
the moving/running parts, then check out (limit)switches
for corrosion.
Also check rubber bands for aging.

Don't know that model, but such speed selections are often by means of
stepped pulleys.

Inspect and look for something stuck (e.g. by hardened grease).

You will have to remove the turntable to get at the stepped pulley.
That means taking the mounting plate off of the base, in most cases.

If it's anything like my TD 160 all you have to do is lift the platter
off to get at it.
