Hi Bob,
Scanning the dial is a great idea --- I should have thought of that ;-)
I'll do just that, get some dimensions, and a couple of JPG photographs to go
with it. Should be able do that sometime this (cold) weekend. Perhaps someone
can assist with posting them where appropriate.
I still don't have whatever passed for documentation for the MR-1. I was hoping
it might shed some light on how to mechanically drive the dial (that is, does
it go on the VF-1 capacitor shaft, or is it string driven with a pulley like
the PM-1?)
Tks!
