Our analog amplifier at work stopped working, and because of it's age my boss decided to buy new instead of trying to fix it. I was able to grab it before someone threw it in the trash, and with a little super glue it is working again. Right now it loses accuracy beyond the 5s on the readout (no matter what scale I have it set on), I am honestly not sure if it was like that before or if it only happened after it was damaged. I'm going to keep making adjustments and see if anything makes a difference.

The nice thing about it compared to a regular dial test indicator is that you can change the scale of the display from .01" down to .0001" which gives you a lot of options when checking or indicating in your parts. Anyways here's some pictures:

That is definitely a very nice toy. I like to do parts very accurate and have recently acquired a surface plate. I’m well with the mechanical indicator, but as an electronic guy I would like one of these. Of cause not within reach of a hobby budget.
