Dropped dial indicator

[Satatic]

Doh! Yeah I dropped it. The pin moves fine but the dial isnt working at all. I brought it to the parts store and they are gonna send it back for repairs. What can I expect to pay for that to be repaired?

Im not sure, but it will never be the same, Dial indiators are VERY unforgiving, mostly do to the extremely delicate jeweled movements.

Find a good adventuresom *watchmaker* in your area and give him the indicator and 4 to 5 times what the tool cost when new.

As one my self I can probably fix it correctly but it will co$t more in labor than it is worth. This is the bane of my existance.

I brought it back to the store and they sent it in for repair. Fixed it up for free.
