Are these bands dead or is something wrong with my radio?

I find radios like this from time to time at yard sales or tossed on
trash piles. Every one of them, without exception, has had a dirty
bandswitch. The bandswitch is a rotary switch. Other listers suggested
spraying the living daylights out of it with contact cleaner. Then
turn it back and forth about two or three hundred times. No joke. That
may bring the dead band back to life.
