How to fix Sony PS-F9 clamping system?

Lately my European PS-f9 started to have trouble clamping a record.

At first it needed help by manually lifting the record a few mm, but slowly the motor started to lose torque. It now stops halfway trying to clamp.

 

So how do I troubleshoot this? Is it the coil inside the motor?

Most likely motor is shot. I have one with same problem...

Well whadda you know... it's about 21 degrees celcius today and it seems that the clamping motor has revived itself. Last time I tried it was 13 degrees celcius (I know, I'm a living popstickle).

Nice, googled PS-f9... Had no idea what it was... But it looks like it's a very cool machine!
