They are actually bronze bearings just like are in most electric motors. That's why I was able to go to a motor repair shop to get the bronze bearing stock for the replacement. They are made from sintered broze and are oil impregnated. I'm not sure that roller bearings woiuld work in this situation because of the small size and the fact that it's not exactly in a clean environment.
