New Dial (Type A) almost finished
I've been working on a new set of dials (below is Type A - there are other types in the pipeline). Its not ready as you can see. Below are some images showing the new dial which has been cut out of thick stainless steel (no plans for stainless steel dials these are just prototypes!)...still a couple more tweaks to do before they are complete..
Below: a few of the many rejects... the dial with the set of hands is to check for the hour minute alignment (which needs to be absolutely perfect).
