Default need to find a replacement K type probe for this thermometer

Such a 'probe' is just a pair of dissimilar wires, insulated on the length, welded at the tip.
You can snip off the damaged bit, trim back the insulation, and re-weld a tip. Accuracy
wont be harmed unless the alloy of the probes is significantly changed.


Solder or weld? I can do solder, but no welding capability here.
Thanks, though.
