I acquired this Moore & Wright 0-1" Micrometer at a flea market here in the UK.
I picked it up and looked at it and found that it is seized solid. The seller said I could take it for free if I wanted it, so I did.
It looks like it has never seen much actual use. It has its original protective case, adjusting spanner and even the original anti-corrosion paper still in the case.
I can see some rust around the hole where the spindle goes through the frame. This may be what has caused it to be seized.
I would like some suggestions on trying to free it up.
Thanks for any replies.
