Looking for a set of brushes and spring tensioner for one of old Kusan ALCOs. Yes I have 8 functional ALCOs that I run every so often on my mezzanine track in my computer room. My ninth ALCO needs a set of brushes and spring assembly. If you have these parts or an old K-series motors I will gladly pay you for it. No help from the AMT/Kusan forum!

A junker from Ebay will be your most likely option - I haven't run into many stashes of Kusan Alco parts when scrounging KMT parts over the years.
Usually that brush assembly is the first thing to go, especially if the locomotive has been shorted out!
What do the motors look like? I have a bunch of NOS motors for AMT/Kusan/KMT locomotives. I may be able to help you.
I would be happy to post a photo but I have never been able to successfully do that on this forum. I simply can't figure out how to do it. My Dumb!!!!
