Paul Mullen recommended Faulkner Auto Electric in NW PDX last year, but
I would also suggest checking your local True Value Hardware.  Many of
them have good selections of electrical parts, including brushes.

I think Division Hardware (SE 37th and Division) would be a good bet,
though Moreland, Woodstock or Parkrose might also be fine.

Please let us know how it works out.  I'm looking for a set of brushes
for my brother's new-to-him table saw.
