Reply With QuoteDid I read right 70cm?
I know its a long shot - but I'm in the dog house as due to placing the air fryer in front of it, I've blown up the glass tube on an enamel thermometer my wife loves.
The tube is 70cms long and looks very similar to the one below (ours is also french and has the same temp range). Any ideas on where to source a replacement tube ?
If all else fails I'll keep my eyes open for a similar sized barometer thingamajic at next years bootfairs, the aim being to strip the glass tube from it to replace ours.

Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Yes, its a very large, accurate and easy to read wall hanging thermometer.Originally Posted by lewie
The enamel plate is sits upon is 86cms and is adorned with various record temperatures reached in different parts of France over the centuries
That's the listing I obtained the photo from because I was too lazy to take a photo of ours - we paid about £200 less than their asking price
Brilliant - thanks for tracking that down.
Or maybe this...link...if you're OK with blue.
Are you going to try to ‘transplant’ the tube?
Wont a replacement have a completely different scale and therefore never be correct?
An even better spot - thank you
Yep, its very easily done as its only held in place by two pieces of twisted metal.
As long as the length of the tube and the temperature scale is roughly the same it'll be accurate enough for us. So either of the 2 Pickle B has posted links to will do the job. Being a tight git I'll go for the Amazon offering, which seems to be the same as the waitrose offering but at a far lower price.
We have a central heating controller that gives us a very accurate temperature indication, but I was surprised as to how accurate the glass tube was - that was until it exploded and left a pink Jackson Pollack style stain on the wall. Now I'm going to have to decorate as well, or move some furniture about
