I really like those dials, I seem to have a daily battle after supper out in the shop what is gonna give out first the eyes or the knees Tylenol buys me some time with the knees but this might give the eyes a chance, might try cleaning the dials and the black background first though, thanks for the idea.

I don't know if I trust dials that much. Anytime I worked on machines I set up indicators to show the amount of movements don't trust them for precision.
Just the way we had to work with old machines I guess , hard to change from the old way I guess for me. An old Scotsman taught me to never trust them. With his brough even his cussing was funny but he knew how to machine metal tricks he taught me helped get ahead , before I got screwed up by doctors in operating room. Good ole Alec ,, taught me how throw anything and make it stick . Knives screw drivers axes spikes. On breaks we let off steam .
