Having previously replaced the notriously fragile gear C, I left my 488 MK II sitting fro 18 months.
When I came back to use it was showing the same symptoms as when gear C broke - the magnetic head assembly wasn't raising and the LEDs above the record play and pause buttons were flashing.
It turned out the grease in the mechanism had become hard, preventing the gears which raise and lower the head assembly from turning.
Cleaning the old grease off using isporopyl and replacing it with fresh silicone grease fixed the issue.
