Ok, get ready for it.... I knocked my Starrett 98 8" level off the lathe when getting her moved onto the rods I had epoxied into the floor. I had forgot where I put it and it came crashing onto the floor to remind me. anic: Yes, I've already kicked myself numerous times. I wondered if getting a replacement vial for the Starrett was worth it or see if I could find a more sensitive level for only a few $ more. The replacement vials are about what I paid for the level itself to begin with! Finding this VIS solved that question. I managed to luck out and find this VIS 8" level on Ebay that I won for $70 shipped. It's in pretty good condition and the underneath is pristine. The only thing wrong is the view window has a slight bit of haze so reading the bubble's not that easy. There's 4 screws holding a top plate down onto the body, should I just remove these and see what's what? Before I attempt to disassemble this I was wondering if anyone here has taken one of these apart and would be kind enough to key me in on this. Thanks.
