I was excited to get a part today - a 39A adapter for my manual C1/201, complete with a #4 dial.  The dial is dated I-31, and the dial plate is in really good shape.  The 39A also came with the original cloth D5G dial cord, also in great shape.  I mounted it to my C1 (I-32) and got it working after adjusting the dial governor.  An original C1 bracket on the way, and I plan to paint some slotted oval head 8-32 x 3/8 screws for the dial mount. Looks like I forgot to add the dial center too.  This 39A adapter has three mounting holes, where my other 39A only has two holes - not sure which is older.  This is a nice match for my 211, a IV-37 G1 with 41A dial adapter.
