Took your advice Bob and went to an industrial motor rebuilders and he just happened to have a pair of brushes left on the shelf. So, I finally got together all that I needed to finish up the motor, here’s the brushes I found which shows that the old ones could have given trouble down the road a bit:

Now I won’t have to worry about the motor for another 60 years. That would be when I’m turning 127 years old!
Tomorrow, I play with the paint for the housing.
