I'll have to see how this works out once I get my dial back from Radio Daze. I sent mine in for them to reproduce. I ordered some other dials too so that is slowing the return of my original and new one which is now available on their web site.

So the automatic part of this is you do some manual work to get it close and let go and the station pops in. Do you use the crank to turn the dial or do you hold the crank in with one hand and turn the dial with the other?
