"I have a 606A manual, which came from an  on-line source
that has a drawing of the bandswitch detent mechanism  and
good mechanical assembly drawings in the back. I suggest
soaking the  shaft in a good bolt remover (forgotten a common
term here). Not WD-40 but  one of the good ones. The stuff
made by Kano has a very good reputation.

Try this stuff:      http://www.kanolabs.com    I  think this is what 
Richard is talking about.  There are several products  that work well, Kroil. 
Silikroil and Aerokroil. Makes WD-40 look like paste  and smells good, too. 
 
I have no monetary or other connection with them, but have used their  
products and the are really excellent.
 
Turn the item in a vertical position and saturate the shaft and feed  
through with a good spray of the stuff. Tap lightly with a plastic hammer or  
screwdriver handle. Let stand several hours and repeat. You may have to do it  
several times but it should eventually free up.
 
73 and let us know how it works,
