Thx for your replies: no the super j brushes are way too big. I ordered them thinking they might work. My vac brushes are nominally 1/4 x 7/16 x ? |

The DJ is my favorite Lux. I'm glad you're keeping it running! I need to find out why the PN with mine stalls when you pull it backwards on carpets. |

I ordered a set of brushes from Helwig Carbon part#146. I ground a curve in the otherwise square end, installed them and the motor runs like new. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Rimshot's LINK |

Hey Rimshot, what did you use to grind that curve into your brushes, a dremel perhaps? In the past when seating my carbons, I either use a stone (better have nerves of steel for that one!), or hook it up to a variac and run it at 50 volts for about half an hour (works on my old Hoovers anyway, never tried it on a lux motor). Just curious! Thanks!
