what are the xxx-xxx digit model numbers for the mitutoyos? what brand is the 6" and 12" calipers set? are they straight, chipped, bent? and is that a interapid indicator and what model is it? it's hard to tell because you've hired Michael J Fox to be your photog. if that's a non-crap brand 6"&12" calipers set, and the mitutoyos aren't the economy models and the indicator IS an interapid, i'll make you an offer. i generally use my CMM for production inspections, but my guys on the floor use industrial revolution era tech every once in a while. i appreciate the offer for instruction, though.
