Help TX-1 semi-frozen band and mode switches

[digital-conjurers at ADELPHIA.NET]

Mike,

Don't overlook a _judicious_ application of that wonderful stuff, WD-40, to the switch bushings.  It sometimes can get into places that even light machine oil cannot.  (Just test the can pressure a few times first to get the feel before applying; I always think the factory over-pressurizes the can.)
