I broke my 239 i have since 45 years ;-(

I have a steam engine 239 that was sitting in a box for 20
years. Now i want to make a layout and use the 239 again. The
loco works great, even after 20 years of inactivity but i open
the motor to clean it.
After finding that the motor is a little bit complex for a
beginner like me with loco maintenance, i wat able to colse the
engine and make it run again. My problem is that the button
that was working before dismanteling and cleaning, is not
working anymore.
If i put it in automatic mode, it's ok, but if i push it forward
only (or reverse only...), it still cycle reverse/forward.
I dismanteled again the engine and i have no clue of how this
button is working, it is not connect anywhere!
Also, i cleaned the brushes area and they broke into sand...
Where can i find the part number of these brushes and where can
i see a video or some pictures of the interior of the 239 motor
so i can reinstall the e-unit button inside the motor correctly?
Thanks for helping me recovering my children best friend!
