Part 2 of 2 fixing a mercury wheel barometer

Please read the stuff.. In the two videos (see links below) I show you how successfully repaired a mercury wheel barometer. When the barometer arrived it had a number of faults on it, the indicating hand and the setting hand fouled one another, there were several airlocks in the mercury column, some of the mercury was lost and the float was thoroughly jammed in the lower chamber. I know there are kits that you can buy to help fix these things but it arrive on Christmas eve and there was no way to get any special tools and being an impatient sort of a guy I decided to use what I had to hand. Unfortunately I forgot to put the close up lens on for part of my work but I've included the sequence as its part of the process I went through. I do take chances and I'm not saying that this is how it should be done it's simply a record of how I chose to overcome the problem that I was faced with. The barometer is working perfectly well and confirms the readings from the local Metrological Office that is only a few hindered yards away from our home. There are safety issues with mercury so please seek for advices elsewhere. Again, I'm not saying what I do is right; I couldn't find any videos that dealt with these problems so I made these videos to show how I chose to deal with the problems. Thanks for watching.
