Ken & Group-
I've obtained a similar brush from Micro Mark Tools <www.micromark.com> .
Its very useful, but VERY abrasive.  Careless use can remove more than just 
the intended corrosion or tarnish.  I sure wouldnt want to inhale the fine 
fiberglass dust that it leaves behind.
They also offer similar tools with brass or steel brushes, abrasive cord 
(like dental floss...) and miniature bottle brushes (1/16 to 5/16 inch 
diameter).

73,
