This is the brush roll. I removed the rubber beater bars because they will break after all these years if you leave them attached.

The Chief and the Zephyr twin motor models (the Super Chief is hanging out on the other side of the room).

How long is the brushroll? Also, do the end caps on the brush rotate or do they lock in? |

This is what the Air Way brush strips look like before and after rebristling.

Does anyone have a spare brushroll they're willing to sell? |

I have no idea of why I remembered where this brushroll was. It is 11-3/4", this just the round aluminum and 12-3/8" from end to end where I believe the bearing caps would go that are missing. Check all pictures closely and you might ask Tom - dysonman1 or one of the other Pros on Air-Way.
I am in Los Angeles and my email address is on my member profile. Good luck, Peter |

I sent you an email about the brushroll. |

I pulled out all my extra pieces to the airway chief. These were cleaned and buffed 20 years ago and have been sitting in storage since. I know I have the brush roll and bearings in a different box.

Does that cord have a power switch attached to it? |

Yes, the cord has the power switch attached to it. I have a HUGE box of very vintage brush rolls going back to the 1912 Hoover Senior. It's heavy, and on a shelf, so I'll need one of my friends to help me get it down. I'm sure the brush roller for my air-way that's in pieces (those pieces were buffed) is in there. I'll show you what the bearing/brush holders looked like.

I have a spare handle and bag. I would just use a black cord for your cord… bonus points for using a woven wrapped one. |
