The first 2 pictures show it laying flat on my saw. The next 2 pics show it with a wedge to bring it up level and turned 180*.....


Is this fixable?

It does not read the same in any direction. Where do I send it off for calibration?

I’ve had this for damn near 15 years. It spent it’s “off” time in its case, across the top of the seats in my single cab. When we switched to laser lever, this got retired to the shop where it was stored on end in its case. It has NEVER seen water, it has NEVER been dropped, or otherwise abused. I am the first, original and only owner. I hope I can get it fixed. It was fairly high dollar when it was new and I was hoping to get a lifetime out of it....


Edit: looks like the pics got jumbled when they were loaded. I don’t know why. Second pic is flat on my saw. First pic is it turned 180*. Third pic is with a wedge to bring it to level and fourth pic is wedged to bring it level after turning it 180* (I THINK).

johnson does have a warranty. they will send you new bubbles and gaskets.
i have replaced some bubbles where the fluid leaked out.
shipping to return it, really aint worth it, as rooster stated. unless you have the receipt, and return to the place of purchase.

I don't know what's exactly involved in the bubble but all you have to do is figure out how to tweak it so that it reads the same in opposite orientations....

....ok so a run for mayor might be easier....but,

if its epoxy locked then a dremel tool would come to mind as a possible way to gently free it up. Its also possible there's some type of adjustment hidden behind the gasket.
