Pulley had turned to goo. All of the goo must be removed with Q-Tips, tissues, or whatever else works and isopropyl alcohol. Care must also be taken not to lose the little washers. Replacement was made out of plastic tubing. If it is not grippy enough, it can be lightly sanded with sandpaper. One could probably also use medical silicone tubing since it is grippier--if it can be found. Since this stuff isn't really made any more, experimentation is called for.
