Your picture illustrates what I've been saying



Moving the end of the anchor arm up or down does not change the relative position of the anchor point. In order to get more or less cable pull, you'd have to move the anchor point relative to the pivot point. That just doesn't happen in the Speed Dial (or Servo Wave) levers.

Frankly, you are the first person I've ever run across who says that the Speed Dial or Servo-Wave feature can be used in the way you are describing.
