Using Brenda's logic, if he is able to receive even one SW station, then isn't the band switch working?
If the station that you are able to receive is all the way at one end of the dial (either high or low), then to me, the problem is somehow related to the tuning. Possibly a trimmer or padder cap for either the antenna or oscillator has failed or been shorted and shifted the tuning range correspondingly. As a test of this, are you able to hear that one station's call sign and/or frequency? If so, does that match 'where' the station is being received on the dial?
My $.02 anyway.
