It sounds like a mechanical variable speed as found on a number of different lathes. There is actually 2 pulleys. One adjusted by the lever to give you your different speeds and a second spring loaded pulley that gives you the speed change ratio and maintains tension on the belt. Id guess that the spring loaded pulley is stuck. Give it a good clean and get it moving freely again.
The same problem here https://www.woodworkforums.com/186076-variable-speed/Those were the droids I was looking for.
