Russco cue master Idler rim replacement

Contact ebay seller “ laherbau “. He makes ‘em for the Russco tables as well as others, out of Delrin, with a square section O-ring and properly sized Oilite bushing. I have one of his in my Studio Pro and bought another for a spare. They’re extremely well made, fit and work perfectly. They’re also quieter than the original Russco puck. The seller/maker’s name is Abe. BTW - some of the quietest Russco tables around are using his idler wheels.

Help anyone, I need to find a new one or used that is not out of round to buy,Thank to anyone that replies

@uvon60 If you have the old idler, you can send it to Russell Industries and they can rebuild it for a reasonable fee. I've had them do this with Ampex and Otari pinch rollers for studio decks and they did an excellent job.

The other guy’s name is Mirko (first name), but I don’t recall much else other than that he lived in a beach community South of Los Angeles and then moved to the East Coast (or visa versa).

I purchased Visseaux 2A3 tubes from him, but he was also doing idler wheels and machining new platters.

Here's another source (rebuild) to check out.

There is another rebuilder, but can't think of his name right now (will post if I recall).
