[Milsurplus] Collins 637-T2 help

Hi all,
I picked up a Collins 637T2 dipole today,  and I am trying to figure 
out how it is supposed to work.  Mine is broken, so I will need to 
repair it.  Each of the crank handles have been snapped off.  I will 
think about replacing the green disk that they were attached to 
underneath the frequency dials.  

Mine have two large thumbnuts on top, I assume to tie to the end of 
the wire when you pull the cable out.

But are the two small round thumbnuts holding on the dial pointer 
supposed to lock down?  Mine do not, they just spin around.  

Is each of the aluminium black frequency scales free spinning or are 
they suppose to be attached to the green 
rotating disk/handle assembly?

Any help you can give me would be appreciated.  (Does anyone sell a 
manual for this?  I have not found one on the net yet)

Thanks for your help.
