[ARC5] Need parts for a BC-459A TX

Hey, it's me again, looking for solutions (actually parts)
Recently I purchased on E-Bay, a BC-459 TX (7~9.1 MHz . The unit arrived 
today, and actually looks in pretty good shape. The only mechanical problem 
that I see, is the main dial, that is bent & mangled in two places, almost 
to the point of being un-repairable.
Almost looks like the dial was on some other rig, when the accident?? 
occurred, as there is no corresponding dings on the radio, and everything, 
including the tiny glass spacers on the variable caps are all in place :o).
Anyone got a similar dial from a parts stash or know a source where I might 
purchase one.  Black, and stamped 7-9.1

Thanks for any help or ideas.
