Thanks Richard!
Superb reply I can’t thank you enough!

I apologize for my previous post ( I confused the word) 😳

Now next step about the replacement of the bearings:
1) Is it something which a great deal of technical knowledge is required?
2) Is there anyone out there who knows how much can cost me to replace the aforementioned part? (in other words:is it worth it?)

Thanks again in advance 🙂

1) Spin with difficulty ( 2 spins at max) when hand spinned.

if no free spin, hold drum at the bottom and pull and push it backwards and forwards, there should only be a slight movement.
2) If the definition of slight you mean ” very little” the drum seems to “bounce” backward and forward; it seems pretty loose.

I thought it could be the rubber/ bearing but as I did not see any visible deterioration it didn’t seem a logical; conclusion; and at this point the question that raises is : should the rubber/bearing show some kind of sign of wearing ( such it’s ripped, some hole, the rubber is visibly apart, or sim.)
In any case thank you very much for your help and kindness.
Any other possible explanations why the beast behave like that?

if a) drum does not spin freely or b) there is excessive movement then the drum bearing are probabaly faulty.
post results.
thanks
