Dial Indicators, DTIs, Calipers, Starrett, Federal, Brown & Sharpe

[MyLilMule]

Well, the time has come to let some things go. I’ve been collecting these indicators for a couple years, and frankly, they sit in my tool box. As much as I would like to keep them all, I need to raise funds for other shop projects. Some of these (**) have been serviced, cleaned and/or repaired by Mark Ratkowski (MR Tool Repair). Others were in good working order when I got them, and a few will need to be repaired, one (#13) is not economical to repair and is parts only. I’ve listed prices below that are all OBO. Actual shipping/handling (USPS Priority Mail) is extra, USA only. If you see something here you are interested in:

God help me but I'm in for number 14 please. I've rebuilt two of those already and probably will need a project for the upcoming winter. I will try to do the 'coversations' thing but it never quite works out.

Have attempted 'conversation' but if you want to do this direct, email to jrr0 (at) us (dot) ibm (dot) com - where that's a zero, not an oh in the address.

Interested in #17 (tesa?) & #19 (rough interapid).
What is the travel on #17?
What happens when you move the stylus on #19?

#17 - I'm guessing .050" just because the dial is .008" (very strange - never seen one like this) and it appears to travel 6.5 turns
#19 - it "moves" but is inconsistent. The piece that the face is attached to is loose. It's likely a parts only piece but I'm not about to open it up to find out.
