I have not seen any Philcos with rubber bushings on the switch shafts. I would think that they were just put there for safe storage, so I would say no. Ron is the guy to ask to be sure. Those thick bushings for the front of the chassis seem to stay soft for some reason. The last restoration I did, mine were like brand new and I know they were original.
