Good news, found the knobs. I am after all pretty meticulous guy, I stashed it in a box, marked it "current projects knobs and screws", just forgot what it looked like, there are many of them boxes.

Well. I am a bally idiot.
I was sure, dead sure I bought the dial cover from Mark a year ago.
I found out today I did not. I doubt I lost it. I have the 38-12 one also bought from him but not 39-6.
O well...

Finished the cloth and the dial cover yesterday, but put the chassis in today.

Ken

I would but I decided to have beer every other day instead of every day Icon_smile

My liver kept telling me beer has too many calories.
I threatend it with Coors Light and it threated right back to commit suicide.
So we had a comptomise: no Coors light, but every other day Icon_smile
