You will need heatshrink to correct the speed because the shaft is convex, and the string tends to ride to the narrowest part. You will also need for it to be hard vinyl heatshrink. I tried several before I found one that worked, so I'll send you a little kit with some of that, and some thread. Heat the shrink while you are checking the speed with a strobe disc. Then, quickly remove the heat when the speed is correct. You may have to put a bit of superglue on the knot to keep it in place, too. This setup will beat the Rek-O-Kut idler, a Linn LP12, any Rega ever made, and God knows what else, if you clean the bearing with brake cleaner, and oil it with two parts Castrol Syntec (any flavor) and one part 90 weight Mobil 1 gear oil. If you want it to really sing, replace the bearing with a silicon nitride one. Take the motor outboard, and drop the platter assembly into a heavy plinth, and you will probably step up several levels. That's my next project.
