I think Long Island Indicator has documented the 196 repair and offers a booklet. They have parts too, but I hear they are expensive.

Why?
I have 2 kits and never use them.

Do you have a part number a kit would be easier to order?

Got it apart the face just pops off and the pointer to. Looks like the jewel bearing is broke any idea on price?

Used, working 196’s are available from around $30 on eBay and would probably be your best bet.

You are probably right.

Send it to MR Tool Repair, Mark Ratkowski. He has repaired probably a dozen or more of my auction finds. He'll give you an quote once he receives it. He is fair priced, inspects and cleans everything, replaces what needs to be replaced.
