Hey, you've got good cabinet and that's half the battle. I think I'd put it on the back burner while you see if another chassis turns up. You've pretty much identified most of your issues but one that hasn't been mentioned except in passing is your dial. I think RadioDaze sells the decals, and I've seen more than one person who restored their dial, but.... that is a lot of decal to apply and they are white, so you might need to replace more than one set so they match.

With all the missing pieces and the dial issue I'd keep my eye out for another chassis, they're fairly common and not too hard to find. Good luck!
