Default Frozen tuning cap?

Hello,
I'm a part time hobbyist, with a passion for old multi band radios.
Yesterday, I picked up a Telefunken Concertina 3520 for $10 from a flea
market....I always liked the 70's styling on these.
Took it apart, and it's in good condition, except the tuning string is
broken (easy to fix), but the tuning cap is frozen.

Now, this cap is unlike any other ones I've seen...it seems to have other
gears and things in and on it...almost a motorized tuner, but not quite...it
won't budge at all...the tuning know has the nice 1 lb flywheel weight the
end...a google search indicated that the tuning capcan seize, but this one
seems more jammed than rusted....as I said, it's in mint conditon
inside...it's just that I haven't been able to move the capacitor.
Below is a link for the picture of this cap....anyone have any ideas?
