Orbitron Missing Declination Mark

[Inno]

Like the title says, I have a 10' Orbitron that I'm overhauling before installing it hopefully this fall. I've read through the instruction manual that Iceberg posted (thanks for that Ice) and I've realized that the painted line that's supposed to be on the declination tube has worn off so I don't know where it's supposed to be. If someone else has a similar dish could they perhaps post a pic so I know approximately where it's supposed to be to properly set up the dish. I figured this would be a very nice and easy way to get things in the ballpark before doing alignment etc.
Thanks

I have a 7.5' Orbitron mesh, so I don't know how much that would help.

You could use an inclinometer to set the dish for declination once you know what the declination is for your latitude.

Went through this a couple of years ago while refurbing my 7.5' Orbitron.
After I pulled the dish out of the hub, lo and behold, there was the white mark still intact further down the "spinclination" hub where it was protected from the elements. Maybe it'll still be there on yours too.

There's something that looks like it might be the mark but I'm not too sure. Winter is closing in on me fast and I still haven't got any cement poured so I may not be able to set it up this fall.
Thanks for the info though!
