Ken: I used a guy named Ed Crockett (sp?) down south somewhere in Louisiana or Alabama someplace like that a few years back. His email address is PhonoEd at aol.com He can put rubber on pretty much any idler wheel ever made. I lost his phone number but will let you know if I find it. WestTech also does idler wheel work too.

My father would really love to get his old Magnovox to play better. The turntable's speed seems to vary a little. I was able to get to the drive wheel and the surface seemed a bit hard. If I remember they should be softer to grab the turntable better. Any help would be appreciated.
