I bought a used dial indicator on eBay, so it is not surprising that I ended up with a damaged instrument.
The indicator is a Do-All 1/2” travel dial indicator with .001” graduations.
Everything is fine up until .482” travel and then there is a “bump” (i.e. resistance) as it progresses up to .500”. So it is fine almost the whole way.
I found it odd that the dial indicator was shipped bottomed out. That is, it was pushed in ALL the way (which is .535”). That is not good. It was in bubble wrap, and that was in a 4” X 4” X. 6” box.
The shipper said that it was fine when he shipped it.
