I ended up sticking a little red tape over the inside of the oval hole... looks pretty decent as a pilot light.

Thanks for doing that Jr! It solved the mystery. Likely the glue that held the little cover dried and the dial cover often fell off.
Good idea with the dial lamp!
I wonder if you could answer one more question on this set. I removed the two chassis screws and the third on speaker was not even in place. To my surprise the chassis would not even slightly budge! Is it in a tight slot of some kind and tough to remove?
Thanks very much.
