Hi Merrill,
  Good news! In the picture below I can see alot of hair and fuzz caught in the
sides of the chrome pins. That stuff gets pinched between the housing and the
pin and effectively stops the roller from turning.
Pick it all out and bob should be your uncle!

Let me know if its working properly now.

Thanks much Leo!

I believe I’ve fixed the issue (and removed whatever was left wrapped around
the roller pins :).  Seems that little spring that provides the tension for the
white plastic roller was actually floating freely in the space behind the
roller itself.  I’ve reattached the spring (securely I hope) and will give it a
try later this afternoon.

Best regards,

Merrill

Hi Merrill,

While it does look good I can see hair and stuff wrapped around the steel pin
in your third pic. That little bit of gunk will cause a mouse to do weird
things.

Pop the pins out of their holders (very carefully), Clean all that stuff off
and I bet you a beer, it will work like new!

Some pics...  I suspect it's the little white roller in the last pic but no
idea how to get in there and fix it...
