As we continue to disassemble parts in preparation to remove the RF deck...
The next thing to remove is the other part of the dial scale retainer. It is held onto the tuning shaft with a set screw. This set screw is usually frozen in place, and often requires several applications of PB Blaster before the screw will loosen.

I was lucky - the set screw loosened without any liquid persuasion.
Just loosen the screw - don't remove it! Now remove this piece and set it aside safely with everything else you are removing.
Next we need to remove the dial indicator assembly. This has an actuator arm which is held in place on the band switch shaft by...another set screw.

As before, this set screw is often frozen in place and also requires persuasion from PB Blaster before it will loosen.
Again, I was lucky and this one loosened with just the screwdriver. Again, just loosen the screw - do not remove it from the piece.
Pull the felt washer from the dial indicator assembly as shown below...
