Thanks so much for this Just successfully replaced my crystal. Bought of eBay. Never would have known how to do it. I also zeroed in the pointer. Easy if u google it. Cheers John
For what it’s worth you can actually clock the dial to read zero at exactly 12 o’clock. I think with this particular model you have to remove the bezel lock and push a pin through the hole to take tension off a spring bar that will disengage the pinion so that you can set the caliper to where the needle points north and close them without the dial moving.
@@pinzone4358 no worries. Your video is very helpful as I have to do the same for mine. The only problem is I can’t get a replacement dial, which I need. MTI qualos say they are discontinued.
Or you can take the needle off and move it. While the needle is off it's a good time to disassemble everything then clean and lube. After 40 years it probably really needs it. *

Just bought a new lens for my Mitutoyo vernier dial caliper I purchased 46 years ago.
Thank you for this video!

Thanks for your advice. It does annoy me it isn't at 12 o'clock.
I'll have a look into it. Cheers

You can actually pop out the needle and pot it back in at the correct position
Hi, thanks for commenting. I should try that and get it back to how I would prefer.
