Motion pro carb sync mercury refill

[cyrusyn]

Hi,
Got myself an old motion pro carb sync. This carb ran out of mercury so I have to refill it. Do you know where I can get mercury refill for this carb sync in San Francisco bay area?

Mercury is pretty nasty stuff, it might be hard to obtain...Seems unlikely you'd be able to get someone to ship it to you, so you're stuck with local places. You might try finding a chemical supply house, there are sure to be some around somewhere. Also, try calling a neon sign shop, they use mercury in neon signs and they might either sell some to you or tell you where they get it. That reminds me, if you're in the Bay Area, call The Crucible: http://thecrucible.org/. They are a super cool place that teaches all kinds of nifty crafts, including neon bending. They probably have mercury on hand and they seem like cool people who might sell you some. They would definitely tell you where they get it. The Crucible really makes me wish I lived in the Bay Area...

There should be all kinds of m/c shops in the area.  Look in your phone book.
I think ordering from a m/c shop, that has a Motion Pro catalog, would be able to order the exact amount of mercury you would need from Motion Pro.
