Re: S&G 8088 combo recovery

so I've got one of these and I've been putzing around with it for about a year... I'm pretty convinced the only hints it'll give you is the length the shackle can be pulled up, but it's tricky to measure that because the shackle is pretty sloppy. My plan is to make a spring clamp that will put consistent upward pressure and measure with a dial indicator, but haven't quite come up with a design that feels right in my head yet.
Also found a video of someone using a shim thru the change key door slider to decode the wheels... it's in a language I don't know so I don't have the advantage of his explanation, but looks feasable from watching. I don't have shim material long enough to make one like his, so haven't tried it yet myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6mIKKKO2Uw
