The "Wavemagnet" antenna plugs in through a 7 pin socket, which may also need cleaning.
Yes, the bandswitch is likely in need of cleaning.
If you are tempted to align (assuming a proper signal generator) DO NOT!!! use a metal tipped screwdriver... get some proper nylon tools for alignment, if you don't already have them.

Proper operation of that set is highly dependant on selector switch contacts making properly.
I worked on one of those several years ago and couldn't seem to get the selector switch to work properly. The contacts had some kind of corrosion, that the contact cleaners of the day, would only help a little.
The radio was well kept and was stored properly.
When I returned it, the AM and FM worked OK.
