I have a tecpel ph703 and I think the probe is knackered. It dried out and I can't calibrate it. Anyone know where I'd get a replacement probe? Can't find one on the web

Chase the manufacturers.
See if there are resellers.
Just emailed them, fingers crossed!
How much was this day 1? You might be better if getting a new one that states it has a replaceable probe.
As I understand the probes are a consumable in pH meters.
Its was over 40 quid I think. Yes the probes are consumable, the lads on jbk say to change them annually. For that reason I assumed all meters would have easily replaced probes. Mine probably would have lasted much longer if I hadn't abused it by letting it dry out.

are you sure the probe is consumable I think thats a fixed unit that you calibrate with

I am on well water and bought one of these years ago and its surprisingly accurate

I test regularly with buffer but have only needed to calibrate once in 5 years, never measured my mash ph, its a dangerous path and I would probably end out like the guy who tried to balance his table by starting to saw legs.
We have a new affiliate that I'm sure will have some as well.

Jesus Christ!!! It was the battery:) I was reluctant to blame the battery because I've only used it a few times but I'm thinking now it might have arrived with that battery.

:) yep should have said i store the battery separately as it eats them.
Love murder mysteries, consider the buffer solution if you don't have them just to check you are still accurate.
I have the buffer and storage solutions. Gutted, i think my Friday night mash was probably the first one that ended up bang on target pH but now I'll never know!
