    Just came into possession of an old Hale sight-o-tuner.  Wonder if anyone has the instruction manual.  Thanks

    Hi Sid,

    Which Sight-O-Tuner Model do you have?

    Here is a link to the SOT II manual

    Paul-  It doesn't have a model number, serial number D4180.  Your link shows the manual for the SOT with the Inventronics upgrade, I need the original.  Thanks

    Yours has been modified with the Bourne pots for finer adjustment.  I might still have my old SOT manual somewhere; let me look around.

    Thanks Kent.  With those pots seems to only have a range of roughly +/- 5 cents.

    Steve Fairchild used to boast that he got an accuracy up to .01 cent with those pots.
