yep, that's for sure - you really gotta know what you're doing when rebuilding those units. I've done a bunch in the past - from taper pinned Super Simplex movements to the XL movements...almost like tuning up a car with all of the diagnostic whoopla attached.

Ahhh, so you use a Sun Scope to "tune" your intermittents.. I never thought of that. You could see dwell time, pull down, etc...
