Fortunately the same oil that I used to loosen the knobs seeped back into the band switch and has freed it up pretty well too. Luckily also, the wiring is all cloth covered and in very good shape, so I won't have to replace much; only 1 run so far. I really don't want to have to take all the wires off that band switch, label them all, and then put them back, and it looks like I won't have to. I WILL have to replace all the resistors though... they all seem to have drifted quite badly. Of course, all the paper condensers too, and the electrolytics. Fortunately both electrolytics are original, and are the kind that are pretty easy to rebuild.
