I looked through all of my parts, but it does seem that the gold dial I had got shot out. I still have the tuning condenser. It could be elsewhere, though. ...But I do believe that you can repair your dial.

Regarding putting the radio back together, I think we've all done that, where we want to admire it all together, but it's best to not assemble a radio until it's completed, unless you intend to put it aside for a long period of time. In the case of fragile dials, especially glass, I like to remove them, if possible, and put them in storage until the project is completed. Best, with yours, to remove the spring clip before removing the dial. That's a tough one to get off of the shaft. I may have actually busted mine, which might be why I threw it away. I still have the clock, though.
