Hello All,

I’ve got a Mercer “Mikrokator type dial gauge” and the twisted strip and glass indicator needle have broken. This gauge reads down to 0.00005″ [50 millionths] and was extremely accurate until I broken the strip etc. I’ve searched the UK for experts with this type, and all reply saying its not their remit. Anybody out there know where I can send it for repair and calibration. Photo attached. thanks Graeme.

Maybe Long Island Indicator in New York.

Shipping into USA is currently chaos though due to tariffs uncertainty, with many countries suspending postal services to there.
