Thanks  for the tips on gauge adjustment.  Mr Stark is
the one who set the  needle to be accurate at 100psi. 
I will have to ask him if he can correct  the error at
low pressure.  I met Mr Archer at Steam School  a
couple of years ago.  I got the feeling that he wanted
to get  away from repairing gauges but it might be
worth a call to make sure. This  gauge is in great
condition it just needs to be properly adjusted.   Who
knows where I can get the puller needed to remove  the
needle?
