GE Clock Radio 7-4612A Off switch stopped working

Hello, we've had this radio for decades now and still use it for a clock everyday. It recently started turning itself (radio) on even though the switch on top is still in "OFF" position. You can not turn the radio off without unplugging it. We haven't touched the "ON-OFF-Music-Alarm" switch in years. So far most components are testing fine. I sprayed the switch with contact cleaner. Pulled two capacitors closest to switch and the transistor, all test ok. Anywhere else to look? How can I test the switch? Thx
