Started cleaning the chassis up today.  So far no surprises except the way the dial is mounted.  Instead of the rivets I've seen on other sets, this has the dial mounted with staples that go through holes in the mounting plate and then bend over.

It took a little effort to get the dial off the shaft.  After loosening the set screw it was still stuck pretty good.  I put a drop of oil and some WD-40 on the shaft and let it sit for 10 minutes or so.  It finally loosened up...I think it was just some grease and grime.  The clean up is going well...
