Ron, I previously cleaned the switch with deoxit but it did not adequately clean the contacts. So your reply prompted me to use a very small file to brush the contacts. Now the switch works perfectly. Magnetic tuning was easily aligned and 2 stations were set to be tuned using the magnetic tuning feature.Seems to work as Philco intended. Thanks,
Curtis
