Sounds like the plastic shaft coupler from the bandswitch to the rotary switch in the PA cage has cracked.
I have two plastic ones and a metal one on order. I'll report whether they are suitable.
The shaft pulls out through the front panel to give some clearance, but the coils on the RF board may still be in the way.
The RF board is a bit of a pain to remove, helped by displacing the frequency counter/display.
