I read somewhere that it is advisable to use shellac to secure the dial pointer/indicator assembly to the dial cord.
Where is a good source to buy this shellac product?
Would super-glue do the job just as well?
Thank you in advance,

A dab of nail polish does the job. Should you need to reposition the pointer later, a drop of acetone will soften the nail polish. I buy the cheap red one at the dollar store. It is real lacquer believe it or not. The clear nail polish does a great job of mending light scratches on radios (along with a felt tip pen to hide the scratch). I would not advise using super glue.
