I have already run into my 1st. obstacle. The band selector switch is stuck and will not rotate and switch bands. I believe this set is a 5 band ? I suspect that the old lubricant has hardened and change characteristics...now acting as a glue, of sorts. Any tips on freeing this up ...or where I might purchase a salvaged band selector switch in working order? I figured, and I may be wrong, that this should be dealt with before re-capping this radio. As I've stated, I'm no electronics whiz and just figured that this should be dealt with first. Please correct me if I'm wrong.....I know all your senior members are pros at these things..Bryan..
