Dual 1010 woes :(

[karthik_ashok]

Well I have acquired a dual 1010 p TT. Now the issue is that the idler wheel has become hard. So the TT is not up to speed and sounds horrible. Thankfully the stylus is fine. Any help as to where to get it fixed will be appreciated.

Further, I wanted to know how good the dual is wrt the sound quality. It comes with a CDS 620 cartridge.

Read up on vinylengine.com Also you may need to change the cartridge to a newer one.

I have seen a few posts here from folks who have refurbished idlers wheels (kuruvilajacob?).
Hiten etc have referred this gentleman's name who can refurb an idler - Aziz
