Most of us don't anymore and those of us that are still in the trade would not be tackling jobs like leaky switches....at least not these kind of switches. Back in 'the day' a replacement switch will have been ordered and fitted or....if the set was more than around 10 years old, it probably would have been scrapped as not economical or just made to work on one waveband if the owner was happy with that.

It would be interesting to know if wavechange switches gave trouble like yours. I suspect very few.....after all it's taken 50 odd years for the switch to fail and that is way beyond the the expected life of the radio.
