Joe, tried to send you a pm but you have that disabled...

I tried to find the set of B&S calipers I have but for some reason can't locate them. But I do have a couple of other older sets you may be interested in...both probably from the early 1990s. First a 6" made in japan mitutoyo set that I restored from non working condition. They have a very slight buzz in the gear action but they repeat to zero and measure accurately...$40 shipped to you. Note: these are missing the end stop, so take care not to slide the dial head off the end of the rail

Or I have a set of Enco 6" made in Japan calipers that work smoothly and measure accurately...$45 shipped to your door.

If either one looks good to you, I take PayPal to alanealanealane AT gmail DOT com, standard payment please (no f&f). No pressure to buy either one. I will accept returns for a refund if you're not happy with them within 2 weeks of delivery. 

Anyone else interested in these can contact me but Jxarchive will have first choice.

Thanks!
Alex

Both are nice calipers I have used in the past military time.  The Enco is really nice to use and easy to keep set. Wish I had the funds to buy one of them.

Thanks Alex. Let me think about it, and let me know if you come across the B&S. PMs turned back on.

I searched and I madly searched and still can't find the B&S set I'm sure I had
Sad so I apologize for that. I can literally see them in my mind... but where??? A hard lesson in having an organized shop.
