[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 615638, member: 28381"] A few years ago, I found a Dial Caliper at a garage sale. $20. The glass bezel was cracked and chipped. A machinest friend sent it to a place that repairs this kind of thing and had it cleaned, repaired and adjusted. Another $30. Total money spent was $50. for a Brown & Sharp caliper that will accurately read to .0001. I'm told it would be several hundred dollars to replace it today and the new one wouldn't be as good quality. Moral of the story; Go with the wife to a yard sale/garage sale once in a while. One might be pleasantly surprised. [/QUOTE]
