Look in the drop box. Ted Edwards posted a bit on that subject.

Highly recommended! They have brought more than one of my measuring
tools back from the dead. Reasonable pricing (to my mind) and prompt
service.

I usually drop off my stuff and they mail it back but things can be
mailed (or UPS) both ways.

This really works. I have four or five indicators I've
re-built, and replaced the xtal in them using this approach.

My own approach is to machine the crystal flat, just turning the
edges round, and putting a bevel on them. Turn them to just a few
thousandths larger than the ID of the bezel ring.

Then, I support them with a polished ring at about 80% of the
OD, and press in on the center with a soft object (I used a golf ball,
FWIW) so you won't mar the surface. This domes the crystal, and reduces
the OD just enough so you can drop the bezel ring onto the OD. Then
release the pressure, and the OD expands to grip the ID of the bezel
ring. You can adjust the degree of doming by how much oversized the OD
happens to be turned.

The page which I put together to document this can be found at:

Enjoy,
DoN.

Thanks, Don for the excellent reference on dial indicators (clock gauges for
our English friends). And thanks also to Ted for authoring a most
informative article in the dropbox archives.

So does Starrett, and I believe they will do other makes as well.
