I just started a thread on my 38-116. The hub and associated pieces came right apart but I can see where the the dial and both masks have shrunk. both are quite brittle. I can see where someone had enlarged the holes that go around the hub so I think there was a problem with this in the past. The mask with the slit in tt over the focusing rod shrunk enough to crack one end at the slit. Radio Daze does not seem to sell this part so I'm going to ask them if they can supply a sheet of the mask material to make my own. Not sure what you are running into with your unit.

In addition, I've discovered that the contact that shorts out the audio when the auto tuner is engaged is missing. So, I know that someone was in there! Good luck!
