Thanks, Morzh! At least I learned how to free up a frozen band switch.

Eric,
Beautiful job!!!
What did you have to do to the band switch to get it moving? I've not had a frozen one yet, but I hear it happens, so it would help to have an idea how to deal with it.

PAradiogeek: If you read this thread: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread...110&page=2 It will give you an idea of how to free up the band switch.
Mike: I got the veneer here: Rockler I used the pressure sensitive type. It is really easy to work with.
Everyone else: Thanks for your comments. It means a lot when I hear it from my friends on the Phorum
