Ok boys, before I damage something. How does the front of the dial shaft come apart, so I can remove the dial limp shade?

What looks like a nut...which your finger is pointing at...is a nut. Loosen and remove it; its mating part is behind a piece of metal which is directly behind the shadow mask.

But if you are wanting to remove the dial lamp, there is no need to remove the shadow mask...the dial lamp assembly is behind the shadow mask, held onto the tuning condenser with one screw, and can be removed from behind fairly easily.

No, I want to remove the dial mask for cleaning. Plus, I want to clean the tuner. I tried removing that nut, but it's tight. So I wanted to be sure. No turning back if I screw up
