"rust and the dial foot set screws" you are lucky if the dial screws are missing. if you don't see a screw driver slot, in the hole, it might be rusted. put a drop of "penitrating oil" let it sit awhile and probe around with the proper screw driver. many projects ar stoped if the can not be removed. vin
