I just bought a rebuild kit for my "thumper" in the basement for a little under $20, came with the belt, rollers, and idler pulley.
The thumping I could've lived with, but the belt started slipping just recently, so I figured I'd just put on the kit.
Rollers at the rear of the drum seldom go, the plastic glides located at the front of the drum are the first to wear out. The kit consists of new plastic glides and new felt with a tube of contact cement.
