[Johnson] Ranger Valiant etc dial indicator replacement on knobs

[DWAVE35 at aol.com]

Hi Bill,

Nice to meet you at Dayton........

Another method I've used for the Johnson pointers is to use the plastic 
rods from lawn service and utility marker stakes. They're free so no need to 
buy three ft. and all white, so no White Out required.
