what deck does it use? pic of it or the part in question would also be useful.
there's a guy in the US who rebuilds idlers and pinch rollers, will try to find the link, bit ISTR it would cost about 35$....

Hi
I have a couple of old Philips decks with good idler wheels, depends which deck it is. If it's the one with the three push button controls on the right-hand side and the felt turntable mat, you're in luck!
