'idler' as source of noise
Both idlers are quite new
The idler in tt1 i think i got from a fella in the US called mirko djordjevic
The O ring idler in tt2 is from eBayer Audiosilente
So both of the idlers or the idler assemblies are 'noisy'
The diagram below details the idler assembly
I got that from http://www.theanalogdept.com/td124_notes.htm with this note:
Don't forget that little thrust washer at the bottom of the idler wheel. It is too easily ignored. Noisy idler? make sure its there
Both of mine were assembled without any washers !
I think this is the key - metal rubbing on metal - not good.
I feel the more important one is the 'white nylon washer' and there should probably be at least one fibre washer below that and the whole assembly adjusted to fit with the stepped pulley.
My tts were refurbished by a pretty careful guy abt 2 years ago- he did good with both tts - both were stripped and serviced with motor rebuilds and tt1 was painted silver becos of bad oxidation - but he failed to do the idlers correctly.
the other pic shows 3 fibre washers i got with the audiosilente O ring.
This looks like the solution to my problem of rumble
