Yes, since pins 3,5 of the tape DIN socket are used both for the outputs in playback mode and another input in record mode, you can't get an output there when you are recording. But as you say, you take the signal from the monitor socket.

If the switches were still available, I'd probably replace the lot. As it is, I have found it is best to remove the slider, clean that, spray contact cleaner into the body of the switch and carefully bend the fixed contacts inwards (press them from the outside with a small screwdriver or scriber point) before putting the slider back in.
