Looks like one end contact of the E unit drum to me. Probably time for an overhaul as I bet there’s not much left of the plastic part of the drum.

First appeared on 259e-1

On the train tender sight you can view pictures that help.

The part numbers are 259# or 100# for the boards with finger contacts. They come prewired or not.

Try Jeff at ttender.com. He sell prewar drums and will likely know if they'll fir your 636.

As stated above, the 'E' unit drum is #259E-1

The Train Tender does sell them.

It may have a prewar number but the part is listed in the postwar section . It is a very common part and found in all three position reverse units. The Train Tender has it listed for $4.00
