Merryn-367971 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I found this set in our local vintage shop. It’s in very good condition and works quite well but I suspect the car contact ‘brushes’ really need to be replaced. Please can you tell me the name of the part I need to look for? Many thanks.

Andy P. Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Cars that old likely need a bit refurbishing by putting a little oil on the axles and the the pinion.Little is the key word here!I am not sure those are the original guide blades as those guide blades started to appear in the 90's and the set is much older.The braids themselves actually look ok.They can be made shiny again with a fiberglass pencil.I can't tell from the photos but the wires to the motor may be soldered on as that type of guide blade is usually pushed into the chassis and the braids make contact with strips of metal on the chassis that are soldered to wires to the motor.If it works though that is great!They guide itself is either a long stem W5230/C8071 or short stem C8145 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
