Hi again. I've got a Magnavox Tm800 on me bench. It has a Collaro Studio deck (piano keys) and upon playing at any speed, the flywheel/idler combination makes a really bad racket. Anyone had this issue? Should the idler wheel have a rubber tyre? Because there is no tyre on this one... Its just metal on metal.
