The nut on the motor holding pins did the job - the belt stopped walking up.
The platter seems to change speeds like it should but there is a loud knocking - it is synced with the visible excentricity of the idler. Like I should be surprised.
So I ordered the rebuilt one from Gary Stork at the Voice of Music. I need to send him the old one - he exchanges the idlers.
Also bought the needles for the cartridge.
Now the last item: the mat.
The mat is 7-5/8" and is in pretty bad shape. So are all the ones I see on the photos on the Web. Particular sort of rubber, I guess.
The problem is, the centerpiece is a metal washer that is held by tabs in teh center; the washer is used to hold the spindle.
So.....I think I will be buying a piece of felt and trying to make one.

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.
