Two Speed Idler Wheel for Vintage Federal 16S Disc Record Lathe Recorder Rebuilt

Description

Parting out a Federal 16S disc recording lathe. Here is the idler wheel, which provided both 33 and 78 speeds. I had this rebuild just a few years ago and it is in excellent, practically unused condition. I have none of the specifications for the Federal Recorders (there’s nothing online). So I can’t tell you much more. This drove the outside rim of the lathe platter and the shift would move this up and down to press the different sizes into position. The rubber is in like new condition, it’s not hard, not glazed, and has no dents or grooves. It’s so beautiful i wish I had a use for it! The larger wheel is about 2 inches diameter – actually about 2 inches + a tiny smidge, and the smaller drive is about 7/8″ diameter, and the whole thing is about 1 3/8 inches high. This is not precision measuring – this is an old fart with a ruler, but that’s pretty darn close. This is a pretty heavy, hefty idler wheel.
