Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Is it a plus/minus reading DIAL (plunger) indicator? (not a DTI = dial TEST indicator picture at a funny angle?). But the plunger tip looks like a dial indicator.
I was going to say its probably just a different +/- face which & would be useful, but the mini counter is only in one direction. Didn't t know they made these.

Seems like a coincidence, but that DI was manufactured in Waltham Massachusetts. Same location as the Waltham Watch company, (I have several of their pocket watches.) In the advertisement I attached, the Ames company also made speedometers and watches!

@Tomc938 I’ve sent the seller a message, I‘ll let you know what happens.I'm checking to see if anyone I know lives near there and could pick it up for me.
Tom K.: I'll give you $15 for one if you pay postage...

Nice bit of accuracy for a low price. Super handy with a mag base on a lathe cross slide for precision turning.
@Tom Kitta wow. You could have sold them to me
