My first radio "restore" was a Philco 42-1013 around 40 years ago. The first thing I did was take apart all the buttons and clean the contacts with an eraser. It took me all day. It was my main radio for ten years after that. It's now in the queue for a proper restore. Probably have to clean the contacts again.
