Hi Bill
Good point on the dial - yes, you're right, that can certainly be a deal breaker. A repro dial, if available, will cost nearly as much as what you can get the radio for. Another strike against your fixing it up for resale.
I have a 41-246 with a broken (glass) dial scale. I do not think this dial has ever been reproduced, and I doubt I'll ever find another dial scale - the 246 has different SW coverage than the more common 41-245. I haven't yet decided what I'll end up doing with it - I have too many other unrestored sets sitting around, most of which are more interesting to me than this one.
