Sybron/Taylor Service & Repair Forum

Please help with this problem:We own a Taylor #5458 Max-Min Self-Registering Thermometer, purchased about 1985. Recently it was dropped and broken. Whatever chemical was in the thermometer got on our kitchen floor and into the refrigerator, which was open at that moment.We cannot get rid of the nauseating odor! We have tried kitchen cleaners and granulated charcoal but after over a month the smell prevails.First, what was in that thermometer? Is it something toxic? Mercury doesn\'t have an odor, does it?Second, how can we neutralize and/or remove it?We are very frustrated in dealing with this and can find no local authorities to advise us. Please help.Thanks.Dan Keeslardankeeslar@gmail.com408 471 4023Campbell, California

I have a 3\" Taylor Bi-therm gauge with a 1/4\" stem that measures about 4.5\" long. There is no visible way to calibrate it. The nut that goes into the thermowell appears to be a 3/4\" 27 threads/inch. The gauge seems to be working but is about 20 degrees out of range. Would you have a method of ca…...

We found an Arden blood pressure monitor, but it lacked the 3-way T-connection for the two pressure tubes to attach to the instrument. It is a Arden 705-33 monitor. I would like to purchase the 3-way T-connector. Please let me know how I can purchase a 3-way T connector. Thank you.

I have an old Taylor Instrument Recording Barometer purchased in the 1970\'s. The device is still working to perfection. However, I can no longer find refills for the chart that adhere to the spinning drum. These were labelled as \"CHART NO. 135 KILOPASCALS\". Do these charts still exist?
