de WB2CPN South Central Pennsylvania 2004.03.14 As I recall, there is an index mark on the visible dial. There are two semicircle gears which drive the capacitors. Align the two gears so that the index mark is under the dial cursor, and the two gears are flat across the top, (i.e. at the end of the semicircles). Good luck with the screws that hold the gears on their shafts. 73 Clete
