Mark,
I don't know if it's advisable or not, but you certainly can do it.

Hey-

   It's probably NOT a good idea to change tracks
while playing.  My 'tron has a crinkled tape above one
head area that might've been caused by changing tracks
while playing(blast the previous owner!!).  I would
say that, if your heads are not absolutely smooth &
polished over their entire face, don't even attempt
it.

Mark,
 
I will be in contact.  YES - you can change tracks while you are  playing.  
It's an inherent function of the instrument.

The loose cable is the earth from the bearing block.  It should be  connected 
but is probably not due to some unholy hum in the system.  It's a  voyage of 
discovery.

This is not a problem at all.  Feel free to move the selector while 
playing.

Thanks Clay,
One day.

What Martin forgot to tell is that you should never change  Volume while 
playing. And as for pitch, I don't think  you have to worry. It looks like this 
one will change pitch all by itself.
 
OK then!
