Hi, Rick: The diameter of the idler wheel shouldn't affect the speed, as it just transfers the feet per minuet of the motor shaft to the turntable. If the idler is slipping, you would have a lot of wow and flutter, more of a random variation in the song sound. If it is turning at a good, steady rate and is just slow, the diameter of the shaft is not correct. Not sure if that helps. I'm more of a phonograph guy than a juke guy, but the principle is the same. Best Mike On 2026-11-07 10:55, Jukebox Repairman via Jukebox-list wrote:
I was working on this Model F and it was playing slow. Checked tracking pressure and its spot on (I have a gauge) I did scuff the idler wheel a bit and scuffed inside of the turntable but it's still playing just a bit slow
Do you think replacing the idler would fix the issue and if so where can i order one??
