Use two part epoxy on Bakelite, the 24 hour kind, super/krazy glue doesn't work as well. Actually 48-200s are such common sets that I wouldn't even waste my time trying to repair a cabinet on one, especially if it's in several pieces. I think that the dial leans may have used tri clips, are the round in shape and pressed into a hole? If so then a thin flat blade will pop them out.
Regards
Arran
