Default temp gauge nto working

I have a don mckinney toolbox kiln which has an analog pyrometer and thermocouple like the one here-

http://www.clay-king.com/pyrometer.htm

I can't tell if it is the temperature indicator or the actual probe that has stopped functioning. Has anyone else dealt with this problem? Is clayking a good place to order from?

I think you are all having fun at the gathering...

I have found a local supply place called Tuckers that might have the pyrometer for a good price. I'm hoping it will not be too hard to just remove the old parts and replace them with new. I don't know if there is further calibration necessary though.

Clay Art Center is another source for type "K" thermocouples. Usually buy the thermocouple blocks from this firm.
