So I refurbished the tuning assembly of the parts chassis and ordered new mounting grommets. The assembly came out beautiful. I cleaned the dial with soft scrub on the outside (non lettered) side and then treated it with auto headlight UV protectant which made a nice sheen.

The original chassis is painted and I just changed one of the IF's with one from the parts chassis since someone in the past opened the IF and jammed the internal hardware and bent the can mountings. Next is restuffing the electrolytics and cap blocks.
