OK,

Mechanically challenged though I am, I was able to assemble the dial assembly tonight.

My own diagram upon closer examination proved to be fairly accurate, the only thing that kept me from succeeding was the lack of understanding of the parts' interaction, both mechanical and electrical.

First I ground off the excess material off of the dial hub, I have to express my displeasure with the Daze's dial - it does not fit well and the material is not filed off easily - the Dremel stone barely has any effect on it, so it took me about 30 minutes of grinding and fitting, and regrinding and refitting.....

Then I also fixed the band pointer illumination disk, which was cracked and broken in several places, so I clear-taped what fell off and then used the old dials' chips to re-create missing pieces.

I also did not understand the orientation of a wide ring going between the band illumination disk and the dial. EVentually I realized the way it goes there.
Also I figured how the volume cutout switch works and after that everything was a snap.

Now it stands there on my table and I am able to operate the dial.

I may want to figure out how the preset tuning works just for the heck of it, I don't have much use for that, but would be interesting to put my local station on the auto-dial.

Now the main question - all those gaskets I have on the treble and On/Off switch shafts - where do they go?
