If there are indeed 10 tpi options, I consider that the way to go.
Let's assume that the original data they provided was nonsense and that
the machine has always had 0.125 dials. The question is what to do:
return an otherwise great buy, or live with the dials?

I responded too quickly. If the dials agree with the pitch, 8tpi vs
10tpi is about a non-issue. One might "trust the dials" on a mill,
but one trusts the micrometer at the lathe.
