Rek-O-Kut Rondine B-12 idler wheel question

[Mr_rye89]

I managed to get a one of these Rek-O-Kut Rondine B-12s for pretty cheap. Needs a bit of work but thats no problem. I have big plans for this 'table like a laminated plywood plinth and Rega or Jelco tonarm. But the catch for gettin one of these cheap is that I have no idler wheel for it.

Does anyone:
a. know where i can get on of these idlers (specifically for this TT) OR
b. know the dimensions of this idler wheel (outer diameter, spindle diameter, etc)

Any help would be appreciated and I will post pics of My Rondine when i put it back together

this is a random pic of one off Google:

Does this guy sell any idlers? It looks like he just rebuilds 'em..... hmmm......

[Mr_rye89]

Well I emailed Terry today and he says he can build me a new one. *Hi5*

Here's the pics:

Indeed! I second that.

No NOS idler wheels left at Broadcast Electronics (they bought Rek-O-Kut). Terry's Rubber Rollers can build you one. Last list price from BE for a new idler wheel in 1990, $90. BE also bought QRK and Russco. They made the QRK turntable up to 1992. They made the Rek-O-Kut Micropoise tonearms up to 1992 as well.

Don't worry i haven't stopped working on this table, Ive just been low on funds. I didnt have the idler built because I was researching for more options and came up with nuttin! I was thinking a 1/4 inch thick and 2 1/2 inch outer diameter nylon U groove pulley with a silicone o-ring and an oilite bushing would be perfect but i cant find a pulley of that size!

well enough nonsense here's pics of the plinth so far:

these are not glued, just stacked and cut out so the table fits. all half-inch agathis plywood just 3 inches thick right now but im planning on five inches because the motor still sticks out the bottom. it measures 20 by 20 inches and weighs a ton!

Im also thinking a Jelco sa-370h would be really cool (oil dampend S shape with removable sme style headshell) and im going to make a place for it on the back of the table
