Default Can’t make out 502 mpi timing marks.

Anyone have a picture of a new balancer so I can see what the marks are. I can’t make these out.

I think the little white mark, and the scratched off paint, represents 8 degrees. I think I can see a zero at the next mark past it, indicating 10. I added some markings to your pic to show you what I think I'm seeing.

And the line scribed in closer to the bottom, that is not as deep, is done at merc for timing at full advance. It would mark 32* in most cases.
