I finally got some time to work on these micrometers, and the soak didn't make any difference on the ratchet releasing. I'll have to power that off, I guess.
There is a restaurant supply house down here, Ace Mart. They have the neatest stuff for the shop. This red tray is one thing I got for 3 bucks. Works a treat for this kind of stuff.
So the tap threaded in with no wiggles or effort.... No sweat at all. I was sure it was the nut, because no other spindles would thread in there. So it's time to change tack, again. I'll pull the nut out, and give it a closer inspection. I need to figure out if the spindle comes apart, to check the male thread on it.
Neat project. I should be a micro-expert after all is said and done.... Or the destroyer of a recalcitrant tool.... Time will tell.
