I love how your radio turned out. It’s nice to watch someone take their time and do a top notch job. Nice job on restuffing the caps,just like new only better insides 
Fixing the dial is something I’m all too familiar with. My 38-690 dial had a crack on the inner ring and the dial was free spinning when I got it. I super glued mine. Then I found that someone made another notch to situate the dial differently on the assembly instead of repairing the mechanism properly.
The factory notch was chipped so the dial would not stay on the mark. I used a couple of thin strips of a paper material between the dial ring and the drum to hold it in place better. A little more tension was all it took to keep the dial in place.
