Vacation time..so, here's a little vacation from strictly VW things.  But those who know their way around VW generators might have a few hints to a problem.

A 1969 Waring Blender, with a nice glass container, is kicking out sparks, smoke, and some flame in one instance when in "blend" setting.  The other settings just show sparking.
With the bottom off, it's clear that the sparks and all are just where the brushes meet the commutator....JUST LIKE brushes on a VW generator.

Question is only....What Causes that?  Messed up brushes? Shot commutator?  OR maybe something that can be fixed with solvents or something?

I'm not hopeful if new replacement parts can be found...outside the Antiques Market.
