From memory there is a slide that operates the spindle actuator and the Conquest is unusual in that the record pusher doesn't just rock, but actually bears the weight of the whole stack during a change and as a result is much kinder to the centre holes of the records.
There is an animation here.

As the previous poster has suggested, I would be looking at hardened grease and perhaps detached springs (it does happen). The whole mechanism can be removed for inspection easily, if you haven't already done this I'd suggest you do so now. Old grease is the enemy of the older autochanger.
