I need to replace the mercury switch on this unit. Any suggestions as to where I could find one? Thanks.

Do you KNOW that it's a mercury switch? Or does it have a little chamber with a glass window that is now empty? If the empty chamber, that's not intended to have mercury in it. How do I know??? Well, I've been working on one of those for about six months now, no luck. I think that you're supposed to inject salt water through the rubber disk under the soldered-over opening on top of the chamber...

Thanks R.G., you're right. It is a tube with a glass window, and it has dried out. I try injecting salt water and see how it works. Thanks. Kevin Hines
