To the best of my knowledge no replacements are being made. I heard rumor afew years ago about a bunch of NOS being found in an old dealership, but have never seen them advertized or heard any more mention beyond the rumors. Also it was discussed on here about someone that might try to repop them, but I have not seened evidence of that yet either. Likely you will have to try to locate a good one or fix yours. Rod

check on ebay (as much as I hate to mention that!) I saw one a couple of months ago, around $40.00 US. or contacts BERTS in Colorado, they may have some original parts to sell.

You need the 3 brush powerhouse brush holder, and I could also use a few 3 and 5 brush holders. If you have all the old parts, clean them with electronic parts cleaner, carb choke spray, or a similar cleaner, dry them and then use JB Weld to glue the parts together. I have the parts mounted to the generator while doing this. When they JB Weld is thick, but not hard, use a razor blade to scrape off any excess. When the JB weld has dried overnight, then you can blacken the fix to make it look better. Use the slow set epoxy, not the 5 minute stuff.
