I believe I have a Helios caliper somewhere that's

the thumbscrew if it's still on it and it will fit
yours. If you don't hear from me in a day or two,
send me an email to jog my memory.

I have a nice Helios vernier caliper that lacks only the thumbscrew that
clamps the precision adjuster.

The fine adjusted is the right-hand clamp screw that sticks up in the
upper diagram in

The screwthread appears to be M2.5-0.35mm.

Anyway, anybody have any idea where to get a replacement thumbscrew?

Thanks,

Huh? A blast from the past.
