I find the Bosch starters to be of uniformly top quality.  I 
occasionally have to replace brushes in one, and have seen a few 
failures over the years, but it is amasing the length of service that 
they seem to give.

My daily driver is showing symptoms of worn out brushes, but this is 
hard to believe in a 73 with only 88K miles on it.  I suspect that I 
will open it up and find that the brush holders are caked with brush 
residue that has made them sticky so the brushes can't be pushed in 
against the commutator.  I suppost that is a bit more likely in a 25 
year old starter.

I'll try to remember to let you know what I actually find.
