It is the floor model. I love the dial, however, i made the mistake of using a water based cleaner on it and took of a small amount of ink. I could have kicked myself in the head. I'll have to order a replacement when the next pay check comes. We college students aren't known for our money. Quick question, I noticed on the bakelite box caps there are always three hols where the wires that connect to the caps come out, how does this work when there is only 1 cap in the box? I haven't dug in to check this out yet, but it seems when there are 2 caps in the box one hole will have 2 leads coming out of one hole and 1 lead out of the other two.
