Hi All, I'm new to the site and I hope some one has the knowledge I seek.
I bought this drill from a long defunct B&D repair outlet in south London in the late '70s as an uncollected repair.The operative who sold it to me said it was a short run model and that the hammer element was hydraulic. It has served me well as a light duty masonry drill but now the brushes have given up and I would like to replace however all ID labels are long gone. I've dismantled it but there is no secondary ID inside. Can anyone identify it please or indeed point me in the direction of someone who can

Thanks in advance for any helpIMG_2102.jpg

Brushes are extremely simple things. I keep a box full around and just modify them as needed. All you need is a file.

Black & Decker purchase Elu back in the 1970s, and started selling some of the proffesional and industrial quality B&D level tools under the Elu brand name, mostly in Europe, but also in the USA.
B&D also purchased Dewalt, basically just for the name, and started selling professional and industrial level B&D tools under the Dewalt name as well.
There was a period when the same exact tool was being sold with different model numbers under the B&D brand, the Dewalt brand, and the Elu brand.
B&D decided to kill off the Elu brand in the 2000s or 2010s, and the Black & Decker is mainly used for the DIY and home user market.
All the professional and Industrial level tools have been switched to the Dewalt brand, or in some cases the Porter Cable brand, which B&D later purchased.

B&D tended to keep the same tool models in production for decades, so the same tool and parts may be available under one of the other brands.

The Dewalt DW566 looks sort of similar.
