The Hitachi Service Manual gives the dimensions and Graticule measurements
required to design your own overlay, or the item may be ordered via Hitachi
thru an authorized servicer. Required part number is also in the service
manual. If you deal with Andrews Electronics in California they may be able
to give you the part number and order it if you have an open account.
