I recently bought a "Ace AT10-1141SA" thermostat. It seems to work OK
except that the temperature setting lever is off compared to the switch
action. Meaning that in order to get the room to 70F, as it indicates,
I need to set the lever to around 78F. I can hear the switch "kick" at
78F so I know that it's the thermostat. Since this the only problem I
hesitate to replace it. Does anyone know of a way to recalibrate it?


That is a really cheap thermostat. Probably POS. Good mercury
thermostats are hard to find, even the ones that wholesale at $80.00 or
more. I have stopped using them as most can't be recalibrated any
more. It used to be that they could be recalibrated. The digital ones
are better if you get a good one. If you pay less than $50.00
wholesale, it is most likely junk. Cheap thermostats always bite me in
the butt, not a good way to save money.
