Radio Daze and oldradioparts.net both have repop dials should you decide to go that way.

Most of the old dials have a degree of warp-age, if it does not interfere with the travel of the tuning control then I would just leave it.

Good probability that several of your resistors are way out of tolerance. It is important to be sure what resistor it is you are measuring, since you cannot go by the color code.

There are several threads in the phorum that address re-stuffing both bakelite blocks and the filter can.
