I've been working on repairing the dial. Here's what it looked like:

You can see the previous repair to reconnect the inner ring to the dial using some glued on paper strips. The inner ring is also broken.

Goo Gone is my go to for cleaning dials. It was also good for removing the prior repair:

My plan was to use epoxy to repair the inner loop first - then attach it back to the main dial.
I used sandpaper to roughen up the edges where I would glue things.

I then used push pins to position the pieces to be glued.

I let the inner loop set for an hour (this is 5-minute epoxy) - then I glued it to the main dial in the same way:

I'm happy with how it turned out as the repair seems sturdy and less obvious than the prior repair.

Tonight I reassembled everything.
