    I think I'll order the Hudson disc tonight. ;)

    200% was picked to see if the scale would go LARGER than the test line. It didn't.
    I couldn't get the test line up to 7.1" tonight. I tried 8 different things. It's CRAZY! :(

    Maybe I'll figure this PC out before I leave earth. :D

    I just ordered it from Amazon/from Hudson for 15.00 B)

    Thanks again guys. ;)
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    These are getting hard to find now but once you get the print scale right, print on a clear plastic view foil. They are less prone to temperature variation and don't swell with moisture. You can also make a dent or hole where the needle is to sit to hold it in place while you check alignment.
