I have been saving these toothbrushes for ages originally with the intention of using the electric motors for model aeroplanes but I have realised they are ideal for Bristle Bugs.
This is an Oral-B Pulsar toothbrush which uses a 1.5v AAA battery and has an off-centre flywheel weight fitted to cause it to vibrate.

This was my first attempt. I have a much better video which includes how to get to get the weight off the shaft too. http://youtu.be/rAkSnCSv0Lk
