Updating the compression roller.


Essicks VR30 Manual is now shared aka public.

There was a change in the front roller aka compression roller.  Units up to and including 72410021 used a "flex mount with bushing", aka rubber donut, on both ends of the roller.  These are omitted on 72410022 and later.  Need to figure out what parts need to be obtained or fabricated to convert to the newer setup.  Or how to make the older units with dead flex mount bushings.

Both use bearing 902095. 

Bearing housing PN differ.

Older unit uses a part called a stub axle with one being open ended and the other closed.   The newer units uses a part called bearing retainer on both sides.

Vibrator shafts PN differ.
