Hi Doktorg
Have you tried lubricating the pushbutton assembly? It might be considered heresy by some, but I suggest you remove the mechanism, spray the moving parts liberally with WD-40, push EVERY button several times until all buttons work smoothly, then reinstall.
I have yet to encounter a 1939-41 Philco that did not respond well to a good lubrication of its pushbutton assembly. It's worth a try if you have not done so already.
