I am attempting to restore a 1956 VM changer. After watching a couple YouTube videos, a took things apart, cleaned and relubed. I replaced the rubber mounts, cleaned and lubed the motor. The rubber idler wheel seems soft and pliable. Well, it still slips or is dragging. What are your experiences with this type of problem? I don’t know if I should go ahead and replace the idler or go through the transmission again. I did not pull and clean the tone arm. I can “help” it go through the cycle, and things do seem a little tight. I’m open to suggestions. First crack at one of these.

If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything" Icon_confused
