Asking price of $62.66. The seller says, "please use ebay zoom function to see ALL of my pictures for the exact condition"
Lol. Thanks, but the zoom function isn't really necessary in this instance.
That is the factory method.
I made the red scaled one with the little 3" wheel WEN/Craftsman/Porter Cable/other mfg.'s wet grinder and a lot of hand work and a Dremel. Not quick but she came out well!
