Thank you. Four of the 8 switches were NOT working. They would connect when you pushed the appropriate button, but when you pushed another button they would not disengage and that is why none of the pushbuttons would operate. I have removed the switch bank and unsoldered the coils and variable capacitors. There was a lot of rust in the radio and a friend is going to dip the whole switch bank in some anti-rust solution.

Thank you,
Oscar
