The problem is my new band switch is very stiff and won't turn without great
effort. In the original Henry 2K series the band switch in the center of
the front panel uses metal dial string to turn three different switches.

Does anyone have an idea of how to loosen this up? My old deck has a broken
hub but was never too difficult to switch.

Have you tried Cailube?

You may want to try a light turbine oil on the sleeve the shaft passes
through, once you have cleaned the whole thing up with Cailube.
