I have either this same model, or one with the same chassis. (bakelite cabinet with handle on top) I bought it through the mail when I was a kid in the mid-80s. (recapped and nicely polished for $25+ $5 UPS shipping! A good use of my allowance for a week and a half)
Anyway, I remember back then being puzzled by the same thing. I will note that it's a great dial...I always loved to sit and stare at it in the dark, especially if I could find a station playing old radio shows.
