Hi guys,
I am currently working on a model 84. I have the 84 that is a more round cabinet around the grille, but this one is the more humped catherdal style with the round dial.

The dial is held in place by tiny tacks about 1/8" long. I will post a shot of them when I get a chance later.
The pointer is just a slip-on pointer that goes on the tuning shaft.
I will post a photo of the top view also, with a scale nearby for correct size.

If I had to make one, I'd use a scrap piece of thin circuit board, or even a thin sheet of stiff plastic. Use a Dremel to shape it after tracing the outline on the board. Mark the center hole, then slowly widen it to the right diameter, but just a little on the tight side so it holds in place. Spray it flat black to finish it off.

Here's the images of the pointer.
