370 Switcher brush holder needed - where to find?

CaptaincogOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Hello All,

I am still new to American Flyer S Gauge having played with Lionel postwar and new, Standard Gauge, and Dorfan so working on S gauge flyer stuff has been educational.

I was once more educated tonight working on a drawbar style 370 GP unit where the motor does not run. I cleaned and checked the e unit and all appears fine back to the motor but no motor movement. So I go to gently remove the motor and clean the brushes and armature. All seems to be going we except for me dropping screws and having to find them until one wire came of the brush lever. I go to solder it on and the nylon holder disintegrates from the heat of my soldering iron. I have not had that one happen before so now where do I find the replacement holder for the brushes/levers for this engine?

Oh, and yes I know I made a mistake but oh well so all help is appreciated,

Jeff
