thorens 124 mk2 idler wheel adjustment
Hi idler fans,
I am new to the thorens and the idler wheel drive world having just found a td124 mk2. I'm wondering how the idler wheel works. My motor seems to run fine and is spinning the step pulley but the idler wheel seems to be without any spring to pull it/keep it against the step pulley. Should there be a tension spring or how do you adjust the wheel to contact the pulley (and the platter)? The platter spins smoothly by hand. I have looked at the analogdept site and the service manual but have not figured this out.
Any help would be appreciated,
Chris
