So in the midst of trying to clean out my 388 motors I broke the brushes and need replacements.
Does anyone have an online source for some replacements?

Thanks!
 
FOUND SOME!

Well, I accidentally ruined the brushes while cleaning the commutators on the motors.
It was not a standard part but I found some. I used some electronic calipers to measure the original brushes. I was not able to find an exact match, but i used sand paper to get them to size. I used some wire cutter to remove the bottom plate and spring of the new brushes and used the old springs. The wire leads are then soldered to the each leg of the cap inside the motor plate.
Motors are stronger than ever and now I have a bunch of spare brushes!
