Barometer repair

Featured Replies

Is there a shop  in Chiang Mai where an antique barometer can be restored

I take it that the barometer is on the left, thermometer on the right - in the foto above.

Looks like the alcohol has separated in the column.

If so, take a hair dryer, low heat setting, and carefully heat up the bulb at the bottom. Small steps. Heat and move dryer away, heat and move away, ... The fluid will heat and rise, bridging the gaps, and when cools will most likely return to the bulb.

Nice instrument by the way.

Nope, vice versa. The thermometer is on the left. 

A hair dryer should work, trying to get the liquid down to the tiny spots. 

 

Once the fluid is very thin, shake it a bit that it mixes all fluid together,

 

      OP, take your time when heating it up, the glass will break when you make it too hot.

 

Try that it all gets together then hold it upside down and repeat it until the liquid is together again.
