Does anyone know if you can get a mechanical/capillary temperature gauge converted to electrical and still maintain the original clock face ?

Hi thanks, I called them earlier as someone told they did use to do the conversions but when I called they said they didn't. Perhaps they've stopped doing them now. But they can repair the old capillary if needed.

Nah JDO don't do it either, spoke to him this morning.

Looks like I'll have to get it repaired and stick with the mechanical gauge and a new capillary tube, about £45 +vat
