Pick-up brushes (again)

[JulianS]

Photo shows 2 original Birmingham, UK, Lucas pickup brush boxes, slight differences between the 2 boxes, one marked 12 64. These boxes are about 1 inch x 1 inch x 1 1/4 inch and originally contained 10 brushes. There were different style packaging used over the years.

All good stuff about which are good brushes etc. I dont think over the many years I've owned the A7 I have actually worn out a set of pick up brushes. Lost them, broken them by being heavy handed or replaced them because they were covered in oil when mag oil seal failed.

You're very lucky to have acquired these. I was equally lucky when I tripped over a car restoration website where they had some original brushes for sale. I don't think they realised that they were sitting on 'gold' as they were about £2.50 a box! I bought ten boxes. Next week they'd trebled in price on their website!
