Help TX-1 semi-frozen band and mode switches

[Charles W. Morehouse]

Hi Mike,
Have had that problems many times.  The oil or grease on the switch 
bushings has hardened.  This happens with pots also.
Put some machine oil on the bushings.  Gently turn the shaft to work it 
in.  Let it sit for a couple of days.
They always free up.  73.
