I have the idler wheel from a Automatic Type A.
All the rubber seems pretty good except the contact surface (on the drive pulley) which is glassy hard. The hard stuff seems pretty thin, and the surface is flat (not broken).
Is this something that a Rubber Renew product might work on or better to just get new wheel? ($28 VM Audio).
