Hi Pete,

You can find UK based idler wheels (and arms) for about $40-50 on eBay. You can also get an existing wheel refurbished in North America for about $40 plus shipping etc. There is some debate, but generally the plastic idler wheels (the actual inside wheel I mean) are seen as inferior and a metal wheel (2 hole or 5 hole) is the way to go.

Here are some links of interest to you:

Rest assured, the Lenco is worth the effort. The idler system on the Lencos is, in my opinion, highly under-rated - iit provides plenty of energy and speed stability (for heavy platters like your 62) is very good.
