More likely problem would be the canceling switch itself
going bad. If you can see the linkage moving the switch on the lower column,
most likely the switch is bad. I changed the one on one of my 60's. These seem
to come up for sale on ebay frequently.

Thank you, Kenyon!!
I'm sure I can figure out how it
works. I just wanted to make sure there was something there to
fix.
Thanks again!
