38-3 Dial question
#1

Hi guys,
I rcently bought a 38-3. The dial scale had broke at the point where it attaches to the inner ring of plastic. That is repaired now.
I make a detalied set of notes and assembeled the dial assembly back.

My question is, did the dial touch the place shown on the photo? As I didn;t see it originally, I don't know if it should be in the center of that part, or if felt was added to guide the dial through.

As it is, the part ( it is the auto tuning selector) had felt, but is rotting away. Maybe the dial touched the area shown and the felt was gone. Leaving it as is, the dial woluld get srcaped by the metal. WOuld felt wear off the paint on the dial?

So, should dial be centered in that space?
By the way the selector is in the exact spot where it came off of the shaft.
Thanks!
