Dual 1019 Idler wheel wobble

The idler wheel on my dual does not spin straight, causing a noticeable wobble on the platter.

I took the idler wheel off and by the eyeball test it looks like maybe the wheel part does not sit straight on the arm, but my eyeballs are probably not reliable.

I'm not home to investigate further at the moment, but are the two main suspects the idler wheel or a crooked idler shaft?

I would recommend you to call Bill aka bohhey at Fix My Dual. No doubt in my mind that he can help you. He has one of the largest parts inventory for Dual tables.
 
Well turns out it is actually the idler wheel as far as I can tell. Turns out the wheel fits perfectly into the center spindle, and when I drop it on and rotate it slowly by hand I can see the same uneven spinning as when its mounted on the idler shaft.

Good news is it's about an easy a part to replace as there can be, but bad news is there appear to be expensive parts on ebay
