Reviving AVI CD players

Does anyone have experience in faultfinding AVI players?
The problem appears to be in the logic circuit, not the Philips laser/transport assembly.

"The Original idler wheels had a rounded profile, most of the flat idlers you see are normally flat from use! The new idler will wear and eventually go flat also". This is the comment I received from Steve Wareham at Perfect Sound.

Of the available 5 mm, only about 1 mm makes contact on my new one.

were there fitting instructions ?
1. Perfect Sound in the UK; they claim the contact area should be round

2. No fitting instructions

Idler wheel profile

I recently obtained a new idler wheel for my 401 as the current version had gone shiny and showed a slow start up.
The new idler wheel is not flat(square) on the pulley contact area.
Surely the idler should be square with the total height of 10 mm making contact with the pulley?
