There is a dial string in those. If the string is intact the pointer is sliding, if it snapped you'll need to restring it. The antique radio community does a lot of dial restringing. That looks like an RCA portable I had years ago that I have seen labeled as a few other brands.
Something to know the pointer is just an indicator flag...it can be pointed to a completely different channel than the set is tuned to. There should be one or more variable caps and maybe a potentiometer (for the TVs tuner if it is varactor based) inside the cabinet that the string will turn pulleys on. Dial strings can be a bit tricky and Rube Goldberg-ish....don't open the the can of worms unless you feel ready for something like that.
