Mitutoyo caliper repair...HA!
I thought for a moment that a $100+ tool was worth repair when it would only
read in metric. Well, I'm an AMERICAN and don't need no stinking sissy metric system! At $135 for repair, I DON'T THINK SO! Anybody work in metric exclusively and need a 6" caliper? Or, does anybody have a good guts on a bad frame? |

Can you dis-assemble it, and fix the contacts? Pete |

It got wet with rain on my desk (don't ask) I dissassembled and cleaned with
LP air and 97% alcahol. Even direct shorting with metal wouldn't flip it. All the other rubber contacts work ok. "Pete Logghe" wrote in message om... "Tom Gardner" wrote in message y.com...

Tom it's probably stuck shorted not open. If you haven't already
disassemble it that far try cleaning the contact area again. "Tom Gardner" wrote in message .com...

I've had that thing apart so many times I could have bought a dozen had I
been doing something constructive. I was/am on a mission! I'm an idiot for spending time on this, but I bet it comes apart again when I get it back from the repair outfit.
