I think that Midwest dial is one of my all-time favorite art deco pieces.
I just ran across this website with some good information about the restoration of a Midwest console online the other day. It has the same dial as yours and he explains the "Tunalite" tuning indicator (hint: it doesn't come in a puck-shaped can). Now that I go back and look at it, his chassis is the same (18-36) as yours, too. Just wait till you polish it up!
He's got plenty of pictures there, too.

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
