Hi,
I want to add an on-off switch to a 6" Swiss made Fowler digital caliper. I acquired this caliper from my father when he passed away about 14 years ago. It is really a nice measuring tool that has seen little use. It has one annoying issue that I would like to change and that is the caliper has no shut off switch and you guessed it; the battery goes dead too soon. I searched the active topics of this forum and have not found an answer for what I want to do. Does anyone have experience adding an on-off switch to one of these calipers? Or am I wanting to do something that is not worth the effort?
