Hi Chris,
That's great that you're starting with a working set. If you've been through it before I assume you've replaced the electrolytics?
A replacement dial is available from Radio Daze. Your cathedral would be a Code 121 chassis - 5 bands.

Not sure why but there are apparently two versions for the 16B with slightly different markings:

Obviously you want the one that matches your original dial.
For mounting the dial use #4-40 or #2-56 machine screws + nuts. I don't remember the length off hand.
Restuffing the large can is not difficult. Unsolder everything from the lugs, marking where they go. Unscrew the screws holding it on the chassis. Unsolder the wire that goes from the inside of the cap to the top part of the can and it should pull apart. I have used a heat gun to loosen the contents from the outer tin casing if it doesn't come off easily.
