Rick,
If you had one of the original plastic rollers you could try to find nylon replacement ones at a local hardware store. I repaired my traveler that was slowly disintegrating because several on the rollers were split and others were missing. I found the exact outside dimension rollers (diameter and length) in the small parts section of the hardware store where plastic and nylon things are kept, you know the small cases with a lot of drawers. I believe each roller cost less than a $1 each. I did have to buy a drill bit to open the hole because the shaft that the roller sits on is larger than 1/4" I think the diameter was 5/16". Another person from the list tried my repair and said that they had good success. The hardest part of the repair was getting the traveler off the track. Mine traveler went from bulkhead to bulkhead so I had to do some disassembly.
