OK, the donor was the bad pot from the Westinghouse, good thing I keep those.
The switch works, the effort is minimal, as it should be. Two fingers without any exertion.
I wonder what it was that held it...no residue, palpable or visible, was present.
Good thing is, this switch construction allows for extracting the shaft and the moving contacts without removing the whole switch, just bend parts and move wires a bit to clear the way for it to slide out.
Gave it a bit of Deoxit for good measure, though contacts looked very clean with minimal oxidation.
Alignment tomorrow.
PS. There was some extra good in it - during the whacking process a huge splash of solder came off of somewhere. likely from a chassis' wall.
