[Boatanchors] Murch tuner turns counter

[SBJohnston@aol.com]

Hi guys -

I just bought an old Murch UT-2000A transmatch on eBay... it is a nice looking tuner under the hood, but I found that it lacks the mechanism for the turns counter on the roller inductor.  Aaarrggh!  I looks like there was a pin thru the knob shaft and that pin somehow drove a dial-disk above which showed the setting.  Can anyone confirm how the original mechanism was arranged?  

It needs to count 30 turns, hopefully indicating at least tenths of a turn, and the shaft-to-dial diameter ratio is about 1:5.5.  The trick will be to change the motion of the shaft to rotation of the dial above it within the slim area behind the turns counter cover...  any thoughts?
