Just confirmed that my idler wheel is not sticking at all - a very light tap and it spins freely for more than a minute. The idler wheel seems to be free of bumps which could cause wow/flutter. Running the TT without the platter on and a strong single-point light source illuminating the wheel overhe...

Just a bit of background - I had left my TT unused for about a month, as I was travelling interstate and away from home. Then I first noticed some speed stability issues with my TT about a half-week ago. There was a noticeable wow and flutter, and I was having issues with speed stability. This had n...

Hello Darren, Thank you for your reply - I was actually most concerned about the motor in particular.

Swapping parts between 401s of different vintages?
