  Put the wheel back, nothing oiled, but here the table performs the complete return cycle, almost stops but makes it. Prior it required much finger spinning to complete. It can drop a record too.
  
  (doesn't stop at end because I used hair tie to disable the brake ... nicer when servicing I find)
  
  Oiling idler wheel and bearing will help bu why so weak --- idler still too hard? Other adjustments ... guess I have to RTFsM.
  
  Thanks again.

    I have a Type A too. It is the smoothest, quietest idler that I have ever seen. My auto functions are gummed up. What is the best stuff to clean it with. I was going to lube with sewing machine oil. I that what is recommended?
    
    That is a strange looking headshell. It looks like the Bakelite headshell on my fathers RC80 (which I still have). Type A headshells are all over eBay and relatively cheap, if you are interested. Maybe the Bakelite sounds better?

      only "... fine grade of machine oil; that used for sewing machines is suitable."
      
      Pretty certain the manual is available for download from Vinyl Engine. I would suggest you get it because there are only a few points that are oiled, motor bearing [top], spindle bearing, and idler wheel bearing. It adds that the bottom motor bearing only occasionally is oiled.
      
      All the other joints/elbows/etc. are not oiled.
      
      On mine the main gear beneath the spindle seems dirty. I will clean with alcohol and possibly Deoxit.

        Thanks! Will do! I think this one was well maintained. It spins very smoothly.

      I just purchased machine oil at a local sewing/fabric shop. I have the manual for the Garrard and will look to see if they specify oil to be used and report back.

- Good result as you described (pic) ... - bjh 16:30:32 12/28/14 (1)
  Just took some work
  - I would spray it with more of the Awesome cleaner and let it soak in a bit - Michael Samra 08:00:57 12/29/14 (0)
    and that way it will soften up after you wipe it down..You just have to keep working at it.

  This wheel is pretty dry on the edge. In addition to cleaning with LA Awesome I have been using the edge of a scissors. Discovered LA A disolves the fine rubber shavings so that's how it works.
  Decided nothing to lose working it and so far seems to be going fine, scissors edge twice, and still hard.
  Next a bath in cloth submerged completely in LA Awesome ... 2 hours ... very good result, rubs clear black lines into cloth ... a little more scissors edge (not much) ... back in bottle for submerged soak, no cloth ... 1 1/2 h should do it.

  - You can actually just spray the Awesome on the rubber wheel - Michael Samra 16:08:22 12/28/14 (0)
    and then rub and clean it..Did you get the Awesome cleaner already?
