If idler pulley is noisy, than the vibrations are transferred to platter obviously and than to the speakers.
The rebuilt TD124 should not be noisy at any point.

Thorens 124 a little noisy
I have a very early model Thorens 124 that's been rebuilt and it's not silent. Apparently the early style step pulley, even though it's bearing has been rebuilt, is just badly designed and this is what you get (they were re-engineered shortly after my serial number.) My question is: does turntable noise get passed through to the speakers as a rule? Or should I stop worrying and just enjoy the music?
