The bandswitch on a Philco 45, 29 and one or two others has an annoying tendency to seize up. Although the usual advice is to be patient and clean out the dried dirt and gunk inside the shaft bushing, I have had very little success over the years doing that. Does anyone understand exactly why this part often goes south in this particular way?
