Surprise, surprise. A far cry from the stated schedule.
The analogue reading is for where the beads go.

Damning either way.
It makes a bit of a mockery of the popular declaration seen so often seen on bead sales listings which refer to beads having been 'digitally annealed' or similar.
Sadly, and it absolutely kills me to have discovered this, let alone to make it public, but all that statement means for this particular equipment (unless tests and related adjustments have already been carried out) is that the beads would have been fired using a digital controller, but have most definitely not been annealed.

According to the analogue gauge I should at last wake up to some properly annealed beads in the morning. No thanks to the people who should have had this sorted 18 years ago.
