You can do both - that is straighten the pointer AND make it worse. Careful application of heat is the only difference. Use a very flat surface (Iuse a metal plate) and a heat gun on low moving continuously.

The only other problem is that it may have shrunk - whaic isn't so bad. I think there are at least 2 vendors selling replacements - Though I did not go and look - Renovated Radios and Great Northern.
