i just restored one of these...its quickly becoming my favorite of the collection. but im new to this, so a couple questions, if i could....
i cant get anything on my other bands....can you guys? are those bands just retired, or is it because of something i did/didnt do?
whats the "second hand" for, anyhow? just fine tuning, or does it actually refer to something im not aware of?
what sort of drive belt do you have on your tuner mechanism? mine had a broken rubber band when i got it, and there was this spring loaded arm, but no pulley on it, which i figured ought to have one. so i lathed out a nice little brass belt tensioner wheel for that little arm, and now ive got another rubber band in there, but its basically terrible. i was just curious what the actual drive belt consisted of, i cant seem to find anything on it.
beauty dial, by the way! nice work. i hope im not too far off topic.
