Have you tried adjusting the Norden Drift Scale Dial with the Mouse + Holding Down CTRL key?
The holding down CTRL allows fine adjustments. I found this accidently last time I was messing around a few years ago. I couldn't find this in the manual or documented anywhere and it made a big difference.
If I recall correctly changing the dial or making last minute adjustments with just the mouse was almost impossible.
