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. |

Re: Idler wheel
Hello,
This company in the USA is the one usually recommended: http://www.terrysrubberrollers.com/ It's Garrard, by the way |

Re: Idler wheel

Re: Garrard idler wheel,
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.

Re: Garrard idler wheel,
How bad is it? There are ways of reviving these - can you post a photo?

Re: Garrard idler wheel,
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.
