Thanks, Arran,
I broke the switch itself. There is a plastic piece that fits into the
switch that aligns the switch tang and then two very small, soft copper
pieces that are attached to 2 other very small, soft copper pieces and its
all held in place by 2 microscopic springs. It's amazingly detailed
technology for the November 11, 1962, build date.
Thanks for the info, still looking for the part

Eric;
When you say that you broke a switch do you mean an actual switch or a
knob? If it is a knob then you may have a broken dial cord, if these radios
used them. Dial cords can be a real pain to replace if you haven't dealt
with one before. If it is a switch then it may be worth checking out some
electronics suppliers for one of a similar style and function, as well as
the second hand route. Then again it may be a broken wire as they are much
easier to damage.
