Steve,
I have one and will check the literature to see if I can scan it for
you. Otherwise I will describe it the best I can.
Later...

Subject: [Boatanchors] Murch tuner turns counter


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?
