Mechanical OFF/ON indicator - Croydonradio - 07-28-2021

Working on a Canadian model 209 which corresponds to 41-95T, which has a mechanical indicator (red for on) in the middle of the dial itself.  This is driven by a length of dial cord and I think a spring arrangement which is missing from mine.  Anyone have a similar radio?  I have another Philco with this indicator but it is direct driven and very close to the off/on switch and no need for dial cord.
Thanks

I have a similar set; it's a battery chassis.

Does your's work directly from the switch or is there cord/spring arrangement that moves the indicator? I'm missing some parts of it on mine I'm sure.

Found the same radio on youtube, the cord makes a 3-point loop on the metal tab with a spring anchoring the one end of the cord, and the other end goes to the cam on the off/on switch.
