Can someone post a current Letter to RPM conversion chart for a Mark V?? I have found a couple of charts but none agree. One even shows letters that are not even on the dial.

What chart do you have that has letters that are not on the dial?

All dials have A through W (don't know about the early Greenies). I bought my speed chart just after I bought my new 510 in 1994. The chart is dated 1988. It lists A through W. I doubt anything has changed since then.

Do you have a picture of a chart that has letters that are not on the dial?

That is what I thought. Did any SS speed dial have X, Y and Z on it?

What are you trying to imply? You asked for a picture of a chart with letters not on the speed dial and I provided that.

I don't know, I am not a collector of speed dials. I only have two to look at. X Y & Z are not on either.

Vintage? The lubrication instructions closely match my 1962 version(20 pages). No xyz there. Notice your chart does not have 'fast' listed.


I think your chart was a boo-boo. Look for a date code in the fine print at the bottom of the pages.

Funny observation from JS 2nd pic, look at the low end speed increments, then mid speed, then high speed, how much difference between letters.
Most likely ran out of RPMs for X, Y and Z
