Hi -
I bought a Mitutoyo height gage on ebay and just opened the box. It looks to be very good shape - i.e. no dings, rust etc., but the dial adjustment is very sticky and it's impossible to set the needle on the dial without it jumping around by 5 - 10 thou. I have tried it at the lowest and the highest heights and it's worse the higher you go, but not very much, so I am not sure if the thing is out of alignment or if the gears and mechanism inside are just "gummed up".
The p/n is 192-116 and it's a 12" dual beam mechanical dial one with the resettable mechanical 0.1 counters for up/down.
Not wanting to open it up and mess with it until I have a feel for what I am getting into, nyone have any experience with these that can guide me in the right direction?
The unit was advertised as "excellent" condition even though the seller did not offer returns.....maybe that should have tipped me off *sigh*
Thanks very much,
Lewis
