Hello,

Does anyone know where you can get new brushes for a Garrard Universal Motor that is in an EMG Mark IX? If anyone knows the measurements and where to order them that would be very helpful. I bought an EMG Mark IX back in 1984. Every once in a while the motor stops and if I remove and reinsert the brushes it starts running again. I am guessing the brushes are getting to short and need to be replaced. Considering EMG's were made in the England, measurements would be in the metric system, so please provide those measurements if know as I am located in the states.

I've gotten brushes from this outfit. They were very helpful regarding size and type:

Hope this helps!
