Hi Jack,
You can indeed make your own dial cover. If you decide to buy one, Mark Palmquist makes all kinds and has one in stock already. I have no business connection with him, but I know hw makes some high quality stuff.

For the pointer, you can try Julie (radiopup) radiopup AT bellsouth dot net
or Kelton RKTRAMM at aol dot com
The last tme I saw them they both had a lot of pointers. Just send a photo of your old one so they can match it. I believe it is one of the red, double ended ones?

Ad far as I know, the pointers slip over the tuning shaft. Ron can verify that.
How bad is your pointer, and do you have all the pieces to it? With superglue, epoxy and paint, you can restore the pointer.
That would be something I would personally try first. If the slip on center piece is still ok, the rest would be easy. Just a thought.

Good luck with your set.
Gary.
