I'm a long time lurker but first began umpiring ~20 years ago & have just recently got back into it after stepping back for almost a decade years via standard external factors & responsibilities (business, family, etc).
Long time student & aficionado of the game nonetheless, and I'm absolutely loving every bit of getting back into umpiring again since last season -- including the many advancements in equipment (esp. shoes, CPs, masks - I'll admit that I used to proudly daily-drive the +POS composite mask).
Where I've been stumped is: INDICATORS!
I'm an average build guy with average sized hands; I hate that my current go-to indicators are so aesthetically obvious & easily visible (I strive to rarely look at it, self-notched 0', etc). I just can't find a great 3/2/2 indicator that's small (hell some of the 4-dials I've rec'd via eBay lots are much smaller than many of the 3-dials I rec'd - most 3-dial from lots unfortunately are 4/3/3's).
What I'm looking for:
Small - NOT Oversized! This Markwort (and others) would be fine IF: it was ~1" shorter -- i.e. substantially smaller!
3-dial with layout: strikes, balls, outs.
Must be 3/2/2.
Plastic preferred but metal would be OK fine (my old go-tos that fit the bill were plastic but I'd be fine with metal).
(optional) Assembled w/ screws (for easier cleaning/repair, re-darkening numbers, etc).
Note: This Champro 3/2/2 is not the one for me - the metal is very thin/flimsy & the overall assembly's look/feel is just cheap & IMHO a bit meh.

Thanks in advance to anyone who might take a peek at their bag of "extra"!!
FWIW, I've bought nearly all indicators UmpAttire offers, I've bought several "vintage" lots from eBay, and tried most everything offered on Amazon; I've also searched manufacturer sites pretty extensively (most of which don't provide measurements - I've ordered direct from a few and been let down), but so far I've not found what I'm really looking for (and I know that it exists, I had several that fit the bill ~15yr ago!).
I'm guessing & hoping someone out there has a bag full of what I'm looking for and would be willing to part with one or two for a reasonable sum. At this point I'd pay a pretty penny to get 1-2 of exactly what I'm looking for; it's the last remaining piece of gear that I'm not yet happy-enough with for this season.
Thank you!! 😃 🙏
PS -- As a result of my search I've rapidly accumulated ~30 indicators that aren't what I want. I'd be happy to part with them for a few dollars to someone who needs one (or for a volunteer group, association, etc).
