I have seen a name on this website of a man who re-bristles brushrolls, but don't have time right now to search the archives. |

I appreciate all of your thoughts. Ben, thank you for the link. I would like to hear from anyone who knows of a serviceman who re-bristles brush rolls. I will look in the archives myself. Thanks! Bill |

Bill,
Were you looking at a replacement brush roll or internal motor brushes? But since I noticed it was about brush rolls, I too would like to know where to get these re-bristled if ever I found a 501 or equivalent hand vacuum. I hope there is someone out there with a whole box of NOS 2050221000 brush rolls. ~Ben |

I have talked to the man at O'connors and he still does re-tufting. make sure you TALK VERY LOUDLY as he is hard of hearing and I have received some things that I did not want after ordering!!!! He's great! |

I love my 501's. I've got two of them, an early one from the '60s with a red and gray bag and gray handle and a late '80s version with a light blue bag and handle. I snagged the blue one at a thrift shop a little over a year ago for just under $3 and had to put a belt on it and clean a bunch of pet hair out of it. The red and gray one came from eBay and cost me about $17, including shipping. It was clean as a whistle and ready to go. I now use them both with paper liners. I had to flip the bags upside down to accommodate the liners' cardboard collars.
