Small Motor Carbon Brushes

[[email protected]]

I'm looking for a source for small carbon brushes for my Sunbeam
electric shaver. The brushes are about 1/8 x 1/8 x 3/8. My local store
who used to carry these no longer has them, and a Google internet
search has come up empty.

Does anyone here know of a generic source for small electric motor
brushes? I find lots of suppliers for large brushes, but none for the
small motor market. Would this be something that hobby shops might
carry?

thanks,

A hobby shop is an idea, if you can find something close you should be
able to file it to size.

Look for a place who sells slot cars or R/C motors/parts.

My local ACE Hardware store has motor brushes back in with the nuts
and bolts. They're in those pull out drawers.
