[R-390] Plastic Window

Tue, 18 Feb 2003 18:27:09 -0600

Greetings,

        I am not sure if this is about the R-390 counter or the SP-600
question a few days ago about a dial window..

The discussion about the Veeder Root counter reminded me of a thread a few
years back (the good ole days when I got 30 or 40 posts a day to look
forward to)  where it was suggested that a cut down Microscope slide was an
excellent replacement window for the counter.

Haven't tried that but it sounds like a winner to me!

Ahhh for the good ole days...

Cecil...
