The playback speed is not sensed with a switch. It's detected from the linear control track of the tape by the electronic circuits that control tracking.

Usually the only user speed control is for recording mode only.

If it's that old it's probably worth trying to fix even if it's a complex electronic issue, but a service manual with schematic is going to be critical to success.
