Don’t have any spare parts, but it would be very helpful to all here if you could post the part number/type track you are using. A picture would also help.
If yours is a Lionel O72 switch made circa 1990, you have my blessings. They had a lot of issues! I actually put one in the trash to avoid passing frustration on to someone else in the hobby! Ross makes replacement switches with the same footprint. If I were building a layout with tubular, that's what I would use. Life is too short to drink bad wine!
What if it was made circa 2015?

I have no experience with the 2015 production. After my struggle with the circa 1990 versions, I pretty well gave up on Lionel's tubular switches. Plenty of issues with them are discussed here on the Forum, but the year of production isn't always stated in the thread. I guess I'm not patient enough to separate the sheep from the goats!
