I have. These were offered by Kodak and others and have a source of
high voltage inside. They work by a static electricity field rather than
radioactivity. Polonium has a rather short half life so the brushes
loose effectiveness after a couple of years but the electrostatic ones
last forever.

I picked up at a garage sale an anti static gizmo that has 2 opposing brushed oriented vertically. It plugs in and has some sort of tube inside.
Ever seen one?

There used to be brushes for film and records that had a trace of something radioactive in them. This is probably safer, at least no radiation. Probably works a charm on phonograph records, if you still have any (I do).

Hi,
I recently got a similar to Kodak Static
brush plug in. It 's heavy and the
size of a large pound cake with
a wire lead to a two inch brush.
Great for dust.
Keep it away everything. It
emits an ion discharge. You
can place your finger close
and see the blue light in the
dark and get all tingle finger.
It will get boards, watches,
laptops, cell phones, it
doesn't care!!
