This page covers the TC8700X series rather than a single suffix, because the variants share a mechanism and their differences are cosmetic. These are genuinely old appliances and the practical question is parts.
Drive components can sometimes still be sourced, but a technician should confirm availability before work is agreed. Owners should not attempt repairs inside the cabinet – the ram mechanism stores considerable force and the interlocks exist for good reason.
