Dual idler wheel

I have a Dual 1229 in excellent condition, except for one thing.
The lever on the left that switches the speeds, is stuck in the 33 position, and the platten is not spinning. Underneath it, the spindle on the motor is spinning, but the idler wheel (black rubber wheel) is not pressed against it.
If I put to two small legos (don't laugh ;) in the open space to the left of the idler wheel, causing it to be pressed against the spinning spindle, the platten will spin. But I can't get it to the correct speed.
I'd like not to have to go and buy a complete set of legos, and try
to fix this the right way.
Does anyone have suggestions on something I might try to fix this myself?
