Anyway, I have a lathe from ebay which I'll dust down this week, but I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice about which brushes/springs to buy and any other maintenance tools/lubricants/techniques I should get/learn?
Also, a good stockist for this stuff.
Thanks in advance,

sounds like you had a case of sticky brushes
what the motor needs is a good strip down take out the arm and clean the rest in motor cleaner and re oil the bearings in the can with a light oil
as for brushes you need to find out if they are stand up or laydown or even the v2 style ones if they are the first two i would go for ready or trinity products
if you do decide to skim the com take as little of as possible and go slow it will pay off
