Contacted Mark Oppat about this mag tuning switch or parts for it but no response yet. Anyway, I fird the set up yesterday and it sings...yay! With the hack job that was done on it previously I am surprised it worked first time. Only problem is band #2 doesn't work, bad oscillator coil. Tried rewinding it, it was my first attempt at rewinding a coil ever so I wasn't surprised that it didn't take. I am going to give it another go and see if I have any luck second time around. As far as the mag tuning switch goes, if I am reading the schematic right, www.nostalgiaair.org/PagesByModel/199/M0013199 ,it looks like the second section of this switch operates the pilot lights. It seems strange to me that they would want to tie the lights on and off function with the magnetic tuning?
