Hi,
Welcome to the Phorum!
And it is I, G. Gordon...er, um, I mean, Double R, known irreverently to some as Mister Philco.
I believe the rubber mounts you are looking for are probably the Philco Chassis Corner Mounts, and new reproductions may be found <a href="http://www.renovatedradios.com/parts.html">here</a> (scroll about halfway down the page).
The chassis would have been held in originally with sheet metal screws; the rubber mounts were there to reduce microphonics.
For knobs, look here:

Larry Bordonaro offers THE BEST reproduction knobs and escutcheons, period.
Don't know why your dial would be backward? Perhaps something as simple as the dial cord being strung incorrectly?
