A Philco 91 restore
#18

Bob, does the switch still work mechanically and snap normally between the two positions?  If it does it is usually possible to get it working.

Sometimes if the switch has been in the off position for many years, an insulating layer of oxides builds up on the contact surfaces. If you spray with contact cleaner and "exercise" it under load, many times it will come back to life.
