I'm looking for a solution for a problem. I have my father's really old Brown and Sharpe 1 " - 2" 0.001 Graduation with 0.0001 correction Micrometer. The Micrometer is about 40 years old and works great, it is in fantastic condition. I don't have the model number handy at the moment. I want to give it a good clean and the main problem is the lock wheel. It seems to be jammed with gunk and seems to be seized. any opinions in how to free this up without damaging the MIC? I checked the calibration with a Vernier Caliper at .100, .250, .500, 1.000. It seems to be spot on. I want to get this back up and working like new for my new hobby machine shop.
Thanks.
This micrometer was used in a heavy duty mechanics shop that had a manual lathe. Shop was pretty dirty, and so is the micrometer.
