[Milsurplus] Hack RAX on Ebay

[MICHAEL BITTNER]

When the band switch is rotated, the extra slots rotate along with it to the top of the dial to reveal the desired band while simultaneously covering up the undesired bands.  Like Mike says, the main cover is missing.  If it were in place, you wouldn't see the extra slots.
