Thanks Hank for the paper!  Anyone who gets an old Boonton, I bet there 
are a number of us who could talk you thru ideas on freeing up 
bandswitches, and capacitor binding.  It takes care to be sure to have 
all the mounting details recorded in photos and drawings before you 
remove the capacitor, but if you can get it out, you can likely free it 
with cleaning and relubrication.

The availabilty of compressed air in cans is great aid to cleaning up 
old instrumentation, if you are careful how you direct the spray of 
air.  Products like DeOxit do wonders on capacitor bearings and contacts 
of rotary switches.
