Hey Micheal,
Looks good! The lettering stands out nice and bright. My '300 is fairly dull. I play it a fair amount as it's a good sounding set and always get the tone and the volume confused. I couldn't tell if the original lettering is slightly raised or if it's printed.
As for the pointer if you are like me, have more time than money you could fashion one from a piece of a tin can and heavy wire. Cut a bit of scrap tin abt 1"x 1/2". Fold in half so now it's 1"x 1/4. On one side cut a couple slits for the dial cord to fit into. On the other side solder a piece of heavy wire (could use a small bit of a coat hanger) to serve as the pointer. A little white paint and your set. This is a general description on how to make one your mileage may vary.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
