Greetings -

I may have answered some of my own questions.  The Bandswitch looks more complicated than I want to monkey with.  I do still wonder if the bad pushbutton is an option.

Also, I inspected the restored volume control, and noticed something odd -  the wired connected to the top of the pot appears to have the shielding connected to the bottom of the pot.  When I got this radio, it wasn't operable, and it looked like someone was trying to add a phono input, and gave up, so the original posts' pic may show a miswired solution.

Can anyone tell me why the wire is connected the way it is?  Why would the shielding be connected?

Thanks!
