I am not looking at one of these right now, but generically, check the spring and ball bearing that forms the detent, and check the holes for the detent. If the holes have rusted or worn to the point the ball gets caught in them, try a bigger ball bearing. Clean the detent and lube with automotive wheel bearing grease. This may help.
The 35C5 killing FM but not AM is a funky issue. Looking at the schematic, if the grid leakage caused either excess screen or plate current, it could load down the supply to the limiter, but it would also load down the IF stages that involve both AM and FM.
