[AMRadio] SP-600

[Larry Will]

Rick,

The upper scale on the main dial is the logging scale coupled with 
the bandspread.  With the main dial rotated to its left end and at 
the mark before the first 0 in the main dial logging scale, the right 
dial should be approximately on zero.  On re-assembling the gear 
train, as I remember, the meshing of the gears will get that pretty close.

Regards,

Larry
