Philco 42-380X SW Band problem
#5

..."high 5" on that Ron!! The pushbutton assemblies sure had many more probs than the rotary-type switches in my past experiences. I just restored a old 38-39 mod RCA 95T5 with pushbutton select-coil adj tuning, and the contact-points were very well worn previous!! I almost just jump-wired the manual-tuning button instead. After careful tweeking all the contact individual preset connections, it worked again, but just how-long Im not sure! I told my customers not to depend on the preset tuning anymores. It did work when the set left my bench, but no one can guarantee those mechanical difficulties of days past cheap designed push-switches! My hats-off to you for repairing those mechanical probs with other-rare sub mechanical parts indeed! Ive done a few on auto-radios before, no picnic indeed!! Icon_wink
