I need a bridge rectifier for my vintage Dremel tool

I have a vintage Dremel "Moto-Tool", model 270 series 66-2. It stopped working recently and a part was blown. I figured out it is a bridge rectifier. It is between the mains and the motor. It's a pretty simple circuit.

My challenge is finding this part. Does anyone know what the specifications of this part is and where I can find one? Thanks!

@wylecote that is an old General Instrument rectifier. Now that company is owned by Vishay and dba General Semiconductor. The rectifier should be either a W01 or W02 Here is the datasheet for it W0XX Datasheet You can most likely find an equivalent at Mouser.com or Digikley.com (I prefer those since I deal with them a lot and their site makes it relatively simple to find equivalent components. If not their customer service department is really good as well). Of course you can purchase wherever you like. I do not get kickback for mentioning their service :-))
