i have a question. what do you guys use for brushes & springs on the power torque motors when they are beyond cleaning? usually, when i have one go out, the brush springs are what gets ruined. i need a suitable replacement for the springs at least.

From the other Jerry - Smokie, you need two different sources. For the brushes, the old Aurora slot car brushes are a drop-in replacement - they're as fat and as flat as the PT versions. But they used spring arms, not coil springs. For coil springs, the later AF/X type are the ones that will fit. The AF/X dot brushes are too tall, they usually sell the (correct for PT motor ) springs with these fat dot brushes, but you need to buy them separately. Or just buy them and sell the slot car brushes later. Do not buy any brushes with a raised center dot, they're too high. You need the flat original Type Aurora used in the early slot cars.
Jerry Casper, in VA, have rebuilt PT's with Aurora parts....
