Default Garrard idler wheel,

Does anyone know if there is anywhere you can get Gerrard idler wheels serviced or get new ones? I don’t want to risk second hand.

Thank you.

Hello,

This company in the USA is the one usually recommended: http://www.terrysrubberrollers.com/

It's Garrard, by the way

Dorian, Voice of Music will do a repair on your idler, however they are in the USA and could be costly, I’ve never used them, so it may be better to get one from the UK.
Cheers
John

How bad is it? There are ways of reviving these - can you post a photo?

What turntable is it for? I have some spare Garrard idlers kicking around and you're welcome to one if it will fit your deck.
