Repairing the bezel on a Chicago Brand 6" digital caliper.
These calipers get used daily in the shop and one day I found the glass bezel had shattered. Removing the broken glass revealed the LCD screen to be undamaged.
Some of the raw material we use for some parts we manufacture for resale come in these small plastic boxes, which we save. It's a simple matter to cut a piece of plastic to fit into the recess where the bezel used to be. Some fabric adhesive to hold the plastic in place the the calipers are as good as new. Should be able to make about a dozen replacement bezels out of one plastic box.
When I was taking machining classes back in the late '90s. My dad gave me this digital caliper for a birthday present. Been using them ever since.
