Are you suggesting driving the dial in reverse via its output spindle ?

I would have thought with this sort of dial, the best move would be to set it up with the usual variable capacitor to make a precision & stable VFO, then to deploy the Arduino to make a frequency counter with the IF offset applied. Then you will have the lovely dial and your tuned frequency readout.
