Not sure about the 19 but in several radios like 20-70-90 the switch which is a separate entity from volume or tone control pot does not disassembled easily. Howeve what I found out is while operated under load it behaves OK while when measured with a meter it could be in kOhms range. I think the current cleans it, and if operated long enough the contacts will clean up. Of course if you can open it as in a potentiometer coupled switch, do clean it by all means.
