Dear RonB, Terry, Mike and Bob,

I can't thank you guys enough for all the good help and advice. Before removing the shields on the antenna coil (part#4) I took a hard, close look at the band switch as was originally pointed out by RonB. Oh boy, every contact was rusty and some had green deposits on them, I presume from some of the copper in the brass alloy contacts has been leaching out and oxidizing. I uses a very fine sand paper that I sliced into fine strips.  After sanding followed by a little Deoxit 5 on a q-Tip the AM broadcast band came to life. The short wave band required further cleaning with both fine sandpaper and Deoxit and working back and forth several times, but finally that band came to life as well.  I will post a video of the cleaning and the results as soon as I can put it together from the four video clips I took while I worked on it.

Again, I can't thank you guys enough.

P.S. I have a 1942 Philco Counsel with (the FM band in a different place) push buttons that I need to work on next.
