Spray the band switch with deoxit or other good control cleaner. After 40 years, these switches become dirty and cause the exact same problem you described. Probably would also be a good idea to clean the tube sockets with deoxit. Let everything dry and it will probably work fine.

Thanks for the suggestion. That's what I suspected, as I fixed a scratchy volume control on another radio by cleaning it, but wasn't sure about this one.

Update: That was the problem. Cleaned it up and working well now. Thanks again.
