Hi Dave, No FF/RW or sluggish FF/RW replace idler assembly. In fact, just order the tune-up kit, which also includes belts and a pinch roller. You might also check your brake band on the supply reel and clean the sensor underneath the take-up reel. Oil, dust and deposits in the sensor can intermittently contribute to the symptoms you're describing... Kits for this are available at http://www.iglou.com/studiosound/ Hope this helps.
