but it would seem that the "idler" provides no "mechanical advantage" by itself. If it adds anything at all it would be as a coupling device. As the outer rim of the "Idler" engages both the motor capstan and the platter rim, the "idler" itself has a 1:1 "gear ratio", so to say.
Any "mechanical advantage" in an idler drive TT is a function of the ratio of the motor capstan diameter vs. the diameter of the driven rim.
Nobody here but us chickens.
