Boss 4878 Type B...brush will not stop in upright position

Hello With few exceptions, the referenced vacuum has been a joy to own and use. This problem arose quite a while ago and I've just been living with it but finally decided to take keyboard in hand and seek a solution. When the unit was new, putting it into the full upright position resulted in the brush coming to a stop, an important feature when using the hose. At some point, that stopped happening although I can still stop the brush by tilting the Boss forward till the brush contacts the floor and stops. Unfortunately, as soon as I bring the cleaner upright, the brush spins up again so it seems obvious the belt drive is still engaged. Also, switching the [b]brush roll control[/b] to [b]hard floor[/b] will stop the brush, but that's inconvenient. Started in on some dis-assembly but quickly realized it involved more work than I was prepared to do. Thoughts?
