Okay, nerds: Help/direction needed.
I went to a lovely nanna's house today for tea. She's downsizing because she can't manage the stairs any longer.
Anyway, she has this gorgeous naval barometer. It was last serviced by the makers in 1981. Between then and now, the glass tube that houses the mercury has cracked. She wants to get it repaired or replaced.
The original manufacturers went into administration and never recovered. So, over to the fedizens: Where can I get a new glass tube made and calibrated for her?
Notes
===
Maker: Yarley Brothers Clock and Barometer Makers
Style: Yard-long hanging naval barometer (mb/⁰F)
Issue: Crack/fracture in glass tube housing mercury (Hg retained in lower portion of glass.
She understands this will cost money; sentimental value high.

#makers (in the US) Open Builds is going out of business and selling everything at a really good discount. There isn't a lot left in stock but I found a few useful things.
