I don't have any experience with the Centurion, so I don't know what your parts look like.
Please send a photo of the switch and specs?for the capacitor - size, value, voltage.

I have recently acquired a Ten-Tec Centurion model 422 that is in very nice condition, but has a blown up bandswitch and the plate tuning capacitor was arced.? I might be able to salvage the capacitor, but the bandswich will need to be rebuilt or replaced.? If anyone has a switch/parts and/or a capacitor please contact me off list to let me know what you have.
