Now that Christmas is over, I'm going to transition from "running" the trains to "troubleshooting" what's broken.  I found one of my realtrax switch boxes only PULLS the points, and won't PUSH them.  This behavior is consistent on several different pieces of track and on both sides of the track piece, and all the switches work fine when I swap in another switch motor box.   I'm pretty confident I've isolated the issue. 

Upon opening the troublesome box, it's so darn simple I'm surprised it can fail - has anyone seen this before? If so, what's the fix? Is this something I can fix with a soldering iron or do I need to replace the solenoids?

Any/all suggestions welcome.
