Thanks for the response.
Yes to both A and B. The spring is also in the correct place.
For the fun of it, I decided reinstall the old arm but with the new wheel on it (the wheel and tire combined are the right size, but the new tire doesn't fit the old wheel). Oddly enough, that solved the problem. Perhaps the new idler arm is a little bit off somehow. No big deal, though, since I have fresh rubber now.
All said and done, the VCR is now working like a champ. The great thing about it is that this thing does much better with my tapes recorded years ago on a similar deck than my JVC SR-V101US does. That is especially true of the audio!
