Good luck...

The mercury has been outlawed in all 50 states and now considered hazardous material. There were a few online sources several years ago offering it, but the last time I tried to buy it about 10 years ago, not only was it very expensive the only way it can be shipped is via hazardous material handling.

Those two things combined will cost more than a replacement Sync-Pro.

You may be able to get some at a irritating cost through a lab supply company.

I had the same problem, and I couldn't.

Shake your first at the sky, curse the name of motion pro, and buy the morgan.

we used mercury and our company ,chubb fire,  could obtain it in small amounts,was used in a manometer,  kind of like a carb tuner but for fire systems, ,but i dont know who they bought it from, ,think thats the reason motion pro bought out the pro 2 , dousnt need mercury, you may be able to convert yours to the new blue liquid it uses,  i have the re,fill kit for mine,  ill see what the part# is,  i know i bought it from ebay

Radio Shack used to sell Mercury switches. It would take a few, but would work in a pinch (assuming they still carry them!)

Are you talking about the SyncPRO refill kit?

Also, I just went to the Motion Pro website and this is taken directly from there:
NOTE:
SyncPRO™ manometer fluid cannot replace mercury
and vice-versa

Outlawed in all 50 states because is considered an environmental hazard. It can however, be "safely stored " in your mouth in the form of amalgam/silver fillings. Everyone of you reading this has them in your mouth.  Mercury "evaporates" and is leaking out of your fillings, as you read this, starting the day they were put there. And will evaporate into you, for years and years, until it is all leaked out of the filling and absorbed into you. Now how can that be bad.  OK, I am getting off the post subject. Just thought I would stir the pot a couple of times

Mercury is only a relatively mild toxin, but most people aren't bright enough to understand that organic mercury compounds are nothing like elemental mercury.

Some of the compounds are truly terrifyingly evil.

And the elemental mercury is converted to methyl mercury in the digestive tract by bacteria and is many times more toxic.
