I finished recapping the radio and found that it is indeed working. A little aligning and I can pull in the one AM station that is local with a 30' antenna and my SSTran broadcast is solid. Interestingly, the band switch which has 3 positions for two bands does work. Left is SW, center is dead and right is BC. I don't know if they designed it that way or it was a replacement switch at some point.

The dial was a little different than others I've seen. Its a curved glass cover over a flat plastic dial face with a rubber gasket around the glass dial. The plastic dial face fits against the rubber gasket. Of course the old rubber was toast and fortunately I had a new strip of gasket in the parts drawer I could use.
