Default Sony ICF-36 Radio

Have this Sony ICF-36 four-band (TV/WX/FM/AM) portable from the
Goodwill. It works, but the band switch seems to be dodgy. It's a slide
switch, which works fine for AM, but for all the other bands, it needs
to be jiggled in order to receive the desired band. Otherwise, all I get
is static. Also, I took the radio part to spray some contact cleaner
into the switch, but it didn't help.


Best solution is to go for radios with digital tuning?
