They are there. You need a 10x magnifier or the perfect conditions to see it. I've never seen mine, but I know it is there.

Which models do you have?
If non cyclops they could be anywhere but at the 6 position. I'm sure you'll find them ![]() |

i couldn't see it on my gmt2c using that trick. i had to use a very strong magnifying glass and get the light just right, even then it took about 5 minutes.

It's there, I assure you. I've seen it with great difficulty on my Platty, but the "silvery" background makes it very tough to see.

Your new crystal should have the coronet with an "S" in it, for service replacement, like this one. It's really difficult to see.

Follow these instruction.
Shine a 5,000,000 candle light fronm the gable end of the crystal at midnight on the rising equinox of Venus, and that puppy will be as visible as a pimple on your nose.

Unless this was your AD, you should have crowns on all Ms:

Yep, shine it the Flashlight at 12 toward 6 and look across the crystal at a slight angle. You'll see it.

Did you find the crowns yet? They should be there except the GV Milgauss.
You need to have light coming from an angle almost parallel to the crystal to really get it to show. It is especially hard to see with a white dial. Good luck ![]()
