I need to ask a more cabinet related concern about a 38-5.  A wise friend tells me that the Table model of the 38-5 (38-5B) may have a smaller dial than the dial on the cabinet model (38-5X). I know there are some differences in bezel parts, but it looks like the dial card and everything else is the same.  Am I missing something?  Does anyone know whether the two match once I get the bezel swapped.

Thanks,
TerryMSU
