Took off the back bearing holder of the motor, lubed it, and put some lube in the front holder. Did not take it off - this requires taking the motor off and it is a bit cumbersome.
The motor runs fine; a bit of a hum does not seem to be loud.
Took of the idler. It is a double idler; the wider bottom one goes to contact the motor stepped shaft, and the narrow top one runs against the platter. The top is still rubbery but the bottom is hard.
Need to find a new one or try to ask Gary if he restores them. After all it is a V-M and this is what he does.
Also Ed Morris seems to like restoring these.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
