Thread 'Installing a DRO on a Hartford Bridgeport Clone.'

I started this thread somewhat in frustration at not being able to find detailed instructions on how to install magnetic scales on my Hartford Clone. So it will be a long thread asking lots of questions and dealing with lots of challenges.

The DRO is a Ditron D80 with Slim 1micron Magnetic Scales.

I will also include a few posts about how I mounted the display and probably add additional posts as I change things in future. Thanks in advance to everyone who will contribute.

There are quite a few other members who have a, Ditron too and are also happy with them. I got one for my lathe too, but it isn't installed yet.
