" band-switch having oxidized contacts, so a bit of wet and dry/emery paper and switch cleaner soon sorted that."
I wouldnt have used the emery paper. The contacts are usually brass with a little plating often silver. Go thru that and you have brass which oxidises much quicker. Unless the set has a removeable bottom then its another chassis out job to squirt some more switch cleaner in the not too distant future.
Switch cleaner and working the switch to and fro is all thats usually needed.
But GL with your success
