Hi all,

I just picked up one of the cleansest Philco 620F consoles I have ever seen. The only problem I see in restoring it is... the bandswitch it frozen tight. Before I do something to accidently destroy this new treasure, I need your collective wisdom. How do I get it unstuck??? I imagine if there was grease, it's long since solidified. So, what now?

Thamks in advance for your help!
