need to find a replacement K type probe for this thermometer
In article ,
says...
I have had this thermometer for probably a decade. About three years
ago, I accidentally put the K type probe into something too hot and
ruined it. Now it's time to get another probe, but I'm not sure which
one. I lost the info on the thermometer, but here is an image:

Suggestions for both a manual and replacement probe would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
All thermo coupler probes of the same leter are the same. There are
several different letters used.
Just find any K type that the plug matches the instrument you are using.
The plug should be made out of the same material as the t/c.
The most common plugs are usually the K and J type. They will not
interchange and give the correct temperature.
You must have really stuck it into something hot. The K type is good
for around 2000 deg F. You could have melted the probe if it was some
sort of plastic, but the T/C should still be good unless it was over
about 2000 deg F.
