any dealer should be able to get them or have them.  Also, hardware
store brushes work just fine, I have done this a few times, you get some
roughly 1/4" square ones the right length and file them down on two
sides to make them the right cross section.  Some VR's are easier to
solder in new brushes than others.  new VR will get you new brushes,
too, for aobut $40 or so.

the new ones made for the type 89 are pretty cheap and fit the type 85
well, too.  Parts and cost:
