I'm guessing you've never played with a turntable. There isn't a motor

There were a few which had parallel tracking motor driven pickups. B&O and
Revox, to name but two.

As the O.P. said this was a turntable from the 1960s, it is undoubtedly
a simple mechanical device, with a synchronous induction motor with no
associated electronics, and certainly no servo-operated tonearm. I'd be
willing bet money on it.

The previous poster's (or a couple back) speculation was only that.
