Hi Turbo you could always look in scrap yards for old electric motors. There should still be some slip ring motors around. Otherwise just get someone with a lathe to make some new rings to fit onto what you have. The slip rings are usually just a press fit onto an insulation material. You could make them from Nylon and get some Brass to machine the rings from.
Another good source could be burnt out portable generators, many of them have pretty good slip rings and brushgear.
Good luck with it.
