Part number for complete assembly is SLS-48. The part number for the rollers, only, is SLS-254-3
See http://ttender.com/index.htm for one parts supplier that carries what you need. Jeff Kane, the owner, can offer advice regarding replacement of the rollers as well as replacement of the entire assembly.

We got a great cosmetic shape 259 from my wifes grandfather. Needed a good clean up and oiling and got it running but the pickups are very worn and it's a fireworks show underneath it when it runs.
Also as it goes through turns the sparks get worse and power falls off.
Im pretty sure it's the pickup that needs replacing.
The rollers are grooved and the pin hole is elongated about twice the size of pin.
I assume I need roller, pin and the spring piece or at least carrier for it. That looks to be riveted in place.
Or is it worth replacing the whole thing...which looks like another job as I see the 2 sides are pressed together around the motor and wheels.
Wondering what direct replacement or compatible units I should be looking for and if there is a diy for it.
Thanks in advance
