[HBR] HBR Dials...

John...

Just took a look at your site...I'm STILL crying!

What a lovely buy. What'd it cost you? Have you pressed it into service yet?

I have all KINDS of verniers here: both Millen dials (big & small), a
VARIETY of National ones, the little Japanese doo-hickies, & lots of ancient
verniers---but NO Eddystone. You are SO lucky!

Would dearly love your next post to be shots of that dial mounted on a
FINISHED homebrew receiver, though! Hi Hi

PS: That difference in $$$ per my previous message was the dollar exchange,
Canada-to-US. Still, on domestic purchases we pay *% federal tax AND 7%
provincial tax for a grand total of 15%. Isn't life grand? Ben Franklin
wasn't kidding about the only two sure bets in life...!
