While working on 60's & 70's Philco car radios, I occasionally come across a push button that wont set to a new station. It will just revert back to the previous "memorized" station. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Many of the radios that I come across have very "sticky" push buttons and that problem I am able to take care of with some silicone spray. However, I haven't found a simple fix for the preset problem. More silicone spray maybe?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
