Kato Mikado Experts - What's this?

Anyone have a detailed "parts view" of a Kato Mikado?

Or do you know what the attached part in the picture is. I was putting two Mikados back together and found it sitting on the table. I can't imagine where it came from but it could be something that just got dropped in the mix when I got the tools and stuff out.

 

That looks like an electrical pickup wiper of some sort. Not sure if it is for a Kato Mike (Never had mine torn down to see), but that is an electrical pick up from something.

 

To me, it looks like an errant pickup from a LL SW-8.

 

I don't know about first run, but that is not a part for a 2nd run Kato Mikado.

 

I'll second that. I don't think the mikes have any brass pickup wipers like that.

 

That wiper doesn't belong to a Kato Mikado.

 

It's definitely a pickup from a LL SW8/9/900 etc. I have a baggy of them setting here now.

 

Holy cow you guys are good!

I looked at the parts I pulled out of the box I was keeping the Mikado in while working on them and sure enough they were parts from an old switcher. Thanks everyone!!

 

Heck, I knew that without even looking at the picture. Yeah, I did, honest.
