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 overhead shows no "waving" of the shadow cast by it against a fixed reference point - in this case a line drawn in pencil on the TT.
The motor is fine as well - no clicks/noises save for a very soft whirring, and it's not running any hotter than I remember.
Thank goodness I kept my LP-12 around as a backup - it's doing an admirable job now.
