These motors seldom die though, unless something has corroded where wires
join or the actual coating on the coil has been attacked by something, but
if it went short I'd expect there to be evidence, like a blown fuse or
charred and melted components.

I got a new `motor` for the turntable £5 on ebay and that sorted the non
turning turntable.

Cool.

Out of interest I dismantled the `not working` one

Good man. ;-)

and it appears that
when in use liquid has been allowed to spill out and leak through the
the spindle to the motor.

Given the spindle sits under the turntable and can't normally be
accessed directly, that could either be from something boiling over
and running under the turntable or over zealous cleaning and liquids?

As far as I can see I just need to clean up
the cogs of all the sticky stuff that has accumulated on them.

I can't see the picture here for some reason (I just get a black
screen in Chrome or FF but this is an old XP box) but you might first
need a solvent for the spilled stuff (hot soapy water?) and then a
soak in say paraffin followed by good dry out and re-lube of any
bearings or re-grease any gears etc?

From the image one part has wiring, is there any way to check if this
is ok as in not broken as I intend to put it back together to see if it
still works. I have a multi meter but dont know how to use it for this
part. (continuity?)

Yes, you are looking for ohms across the motor coil. Might be around
100 ohms but that's just a bit of a guess.

If it's short circuit (0 ohms) or infinity then it's faulty.
