The F70 would be early 30s, two main types. the flat selector is hard to find.

Re: R-70-B
you can take it apart and oil it. (use a plastic bag so you will not lose parts.) put it in a vise inside the bag, using a brass punch, tap the plate out from the rear. oil it replace the faceplate. will have to use a brass hammer, punch to reset the plate.
you can make a selector switch from a finishing nail.
