Thanks for the info. A number of those dials are poorly made, however some of them have quite good workmanship. That good workmanship is spoiled by consistntly screwing up the latitude scale, as well as other things. If they go to the trouble to do good metal work, why not use working designs. For that reason I added a third link on my web site. [1] Before buying - check the buyer's guide another list member wrote [2] After you have bought - my reverse engineering notes [3] What not to buy - this is the third link, I added it just yesterday. It addresses exactly the points you Simon wrote >>Many many such dials are sold on Ebay, I do not know how to educate those buyers however. --- Perhaps someone from this list could offer "buy it now" pamphlet on Ebay that was titled "Buyers Guide to Sundials - Separating the Good from the Poor and Really Bad."
