I am in need of a photo(s) showing the band selector switch and lever, with as much detail as possible of the linkage between the switch and the lever.  The switch is located on the right side of the chassis (inside the cabinet), however the lever is located on the volume/tuner shaft located in the middle lower part of the chassis.  On my radio, the lever and the linkage to the switch are missing.
