[Boatanchors] HQ-180 Question

[Mark Bell]

I remember know when I removed the front dials, I mistakenly loosened the
inner locking collar with the big set screw that acts as a stop.
Apparently, I didn't reset it to the correct orientation, and forgot about
it.

The light bulb went off this morning!

Anyone work for a company needing a Rocket Scientist ?  d'Oh....  ;-)
