michaela, it's time for you to add another forum. Lenco Heaven.
The website is all about idler drives. Lencos, Garrards, and Thorens.
For those of us who moved from belt drive to idler drive, there's no turning back.
Once signed in, you go to market place, from there you go to traders. Start reading.
A new oversized bearing is mandatory. Sien (moniker sph) is doing a production run right now. Just order it!!!!.
Once the Thorens is in a new, heavy plinth, motor dismantled, cleaned, greased, and reinstalled, new bearing etc. etc. you will wonder how anyone would buy anything else. It is that amazing.
Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. Effort equals reward, and this will be rewarding.
