I got the brushroll from (repairman) Mike

The original felt bearings were shot and it needed to be rebristled

Pic 1 is from Mike's thread how the brushroll looked when he got it
Pic 2 is of the original felt bearings
Pic 3 is the felt bearings I made for the brushroll
Pic 4 is the brushroll cleaned up and ready to be rebristled
Pic 5 is the rebristled brushroll before trimming and axel rod
Pic 6 is the finished brushroll after trimming

Isn't it amazing what you can find at a hardware store that works as a felt bearing

Went through owners manuals and patents, figured out that the brushroll is from a Hoover 105.

The Hoover 102 had wood bearings in the brushroll
The Hoover 105 had felt bearings in the brushroll
The Hoover 541 had ball bearings in the brushroll

And just think: The model O brush roll didn't have any bearings at all.
