Default recalibrating a Six's max/min thermometer

Hello all, is it possible to recalibrate these instruments. I have
come into possession of one that reads too low on minum temp and too
high on maximum temp. It is like the mercury needs to be pushed back
around the tube somehow to bring the max / min scales in line.


If the scale is on a plastic backing separate from the tube the
easiest thing to do is to shift the tube relative to the scale if that
is possible.
