Rapid traverse lever issue with X axis Deckel FP2

Greetings,
I have an older type Deckel FP2, with motor encased.
After using the rapid traverse lever, the cross feed has nearly seized, it is almost impossible to turn and the regular feed will not engage either.
See attached photo.

The vertical and head movements are fine.

I was told the rapid traverse lever is some kind of clutch.

Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

Cheers
Montreal
