More seriously, it's probably the right thing to take it apart and
clean it, lubricating it with the appropriate lubricant.
Dog spit ain't it.


Take it apart ! So, I'm screwed , A ? That's what I figured.
I don't have tools that small , little alone small fingers.


Its dead , not the dog , yet. My '95 MSC says a good $100.


I'd try getting a set of small tools, and a magnifying glass.
A cheap set isn't much, and the worst thing that can heppen is that
you ruin it further.
At best, you've saved $100, and found out how to repair
dial indicators.

Is there a better range than .05 ? The hinged type , hell I can't
read this stuff. I was just fine with the one I HAD. Hear I thought
it was .0005 not .005" ...

Any recommendations ? Guess I need a new one to continue...
The ones with one larger round end opposite might do for me .
The one that is ruined had a number of spots to hold on to , but I
never used them , yet.

Well, you could always buy a set of small tools.
