Another Dousona Grand Table Top Gramophone 😀 Woodworm attacked and not working.......but will it ???

I bought this table top player for the soundbox to go on my other table top model. The cabinet is absolutely falling apart, full of worm holes and dust. I have cleaned it and treated it so the remainder can hopefully be saved 🤞 The lid, motorboard, horn, tonearm , doors and top beading are all good . The rest is crumbling so yet again I have another project ! Anyway the motor was not turning at all, then with some spray and encouragement it would turn by hand but will it run on it's own.......oh yes :) I have cleaned all the motor parts but need to take the springs out and regrease when I get some free time. Until then I have a couple of videos to upload, it is not perfect but at least it lives.
It's worth saving as it has the lovely wooden tonearm and free floating wooden horn (same as my other one) plus the cabinet and horn are both larger in this grand model.
BTW the soundbox is as yet unserviced :)
The song being played is Show Me The Way To Go Home https://youtu.be/vfB8sDLSTl0
