And....somewhere in the world are the molds that made those
dials...(they <i>are</i> manufacturable, as at least Heathkit made
them....).....and if whoever has them would make a small run of 500
or so, he'd have quite a business...for what it's worth, there was a
fellow in North Carolina who started making them...I want to say
about 15 years ago...I bought a couple, but his quality was poor and
they didn't work well....<br>

<pre wrap="">Somewhere, in the world, is a lifetime supply of Heathkit SB series dials, which are not manufacturable it seems as no one
ever has come up with a replacement. The original dials crack, sometimes so badly the tracker won't move through the worm guides
anymore and the dial is useless. So there is a desperate need for these dials and someone is hoarding them. Maybe they are waiting
for the price to skyrocket on them On Ebay, I see them going for $50 or more! That is probably the most COVETED Heathkit part, and someone who bought out the remaints way back when has them stashed. Wish they would un-earth!
