Yes,  U.S. power (assuming you are in the the States) runs at 60 cycles, so 
if you  shut out all the lights in the room and plug in a small lamp and shine 
it on  the flywheel while you turn the tuning pot, it should line things up at 
440.  Keep in mind, incandescent strobing is pretty quick and the dots on the 
 flywheel are pretty far apart so you may need to adjust your eyes to see it. 
 Pretty brilliant of them to consider this, although with the CMC-10's that  
were in many of these things, I'm sure they needed all the help they could get 
 until the SMS's were made.
