Oh I get it, but it's sort of along the lines of being "first world problems." So the cost of shipping versus the part is ridiculous, what's the solution? Argue with the company that they need to lower the shipping fees, throw out the machine as "unfixable", drive there and pick them up, or find a cheaper hobby? A possible solution is to carefully measure the existing brushes and try to find them elsewhere, but then you get into what your time is worth. Also, after finding them elsewhere, there's a fair chance that that seller has high shipping prices, too. I've been where you are, but at the end of the day, the cheapest solution is to just buy them and move on.C'mon, kb ... kd does have a valid grump about the cost of shipping, considering how small and light a set of motor brushes is. I'd grump about it, too, if I had to buy a set.
