Nice find Peter.
Before purchasing I would ask, How do you know the new foot will be in perfect alignment as was the old? I may be interested.

if the old one is broken you will see the spot
where it was and go from there.

Looks pretty good Peter, are you considering it or just looking?

What do you think a person would have to charge "per foot" to make it feasible?

I would use it with COA services if I see dial with missing foot but Im not doing COA for other ppl.Perhaps $10 to fix feet

I bought one of these a while back as I had to repair a few dial feet and move others to fit different movements. It works. It takes practice but it works. I don't have any pics of the backsides of dials, but here is front side dial meant for a 2824 that I put on an dg8213). As for lining things up again, you really can't use the old spot where the foot was. You need to sand it down so the solder can hold. Needs to be flat. Best option is to make a template for where the feet will go. I tried soldering by hand but was not steady enough. FLUX is your friend too when you solder. Solder goes where flux goes.
