Here's another source (rebuild) to check out.

There is another rebuilder, but can't think of his name right now (will post if I recall).

The other guy’s name is Mirko (first name), but I don’t recall much else other than that he lived in a beach community South of Los Angeles and then moved to the East Coast (or visa versa).

I purchased Visseaux 2A3 tubes from him, but he was also doing idler wheels and machining new platters.

Help anyone, I need to find a new one or used that is not out of round to buy,Thank to anyone that replies

@uvon60 If you have the old idler, you can send it to Russell Industries and they can rebuild it for a reasonable fee. I've had them do this with Ampex and Otari pinch rollers for studio decks and they did an excellent job.

Contact ebay seller “ laherbau “. He makes ‘em for the Russco tables as well as others, out of Delrin, with a square section O-ring and properly sized Oilite bushing. I have one of his in my Studio Pro and bought another for a spare. They’re extremely well made, fit and work perfectly. They’re also quieter than the original Russco puck. The seller/maker’s name is Abe. BTW - some of the quietest Russco tables around are using his idler wheels.
