Sometimes all we need to know we learned in Kindergarten, like "if you don't have something nice to say about someone (or their radios), don't say anything at all" 
Greg, that is an absolutely beautiful dial
. The station/frequency scroll is kind of unique too. I tried to find a better picture of it, but this is the best I could do:

If you want to recreate that frequency dial, collector Steve Geary in the Dayton, OH area might be able to furnish some pictures for you. Shoot me a PM if you need his contact info.
I restored a Sparton with a similar dial for a local fellow who ran a frame (picture/print) shop. He was from England and I thought it was cool that he would listen to the BBC news during dinner on that radio.
