Thanks for the replies.  I finally was able to wiggle the shaft of the bandswitch and it slid into place, however while I had the chassis tipped up on its side, a strange looking piece fell out!!!!!  I have included 3 photos of the piece.  Does anyone know what this is and will my radio ever work again?--John
