Rick,

The upper scale on the main dial is the logging scale coupled with the bandspread. With the main dial rotated to its left end and at the mark before the first 0 in the main dial logging scale, the right dial should be approximately on zero. On re-assembling the gear train, as I remember, the meshing of the gears will get that pretty close.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the right-hand dial isonly a logging scale,
and not calibrated to anything.  But I could be wrong.  I have a JX-17
manual here. Let me go gaze upon it, and report back.

Can someone tell me a few things about the SP-600/JX-17 mechanical
alignment?  On mine, the left dial seems to be pretty close to accurate,
but the band spread or right dial is way off.  Since they turn together
and the right one is attached to the variable, how can I get the left
one right on the money and bring the right one in sync?  I tried looking
through several manuals and I am too dumb to understand or they are not
telling me.  I fear it is the first reason...
