Help! I have 2 old levels made by the J.H.Scharf Mfg. company. They are called “Magnalite” I need some replacement vials and can’t seem to find any. The diagonal measurement of the mounting holes is 2 1/8+ inches. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Well no one else has given you any help yet so how about this.If your not doing a historic restoration couldnt you buy some other vials and epoxy them in the old level.It might be a persnickity operation but if you really like the bodies of the old ones they might give them some new life.Just a shot..you looked kinds lonely there.
*will one of these fit ? http://www.lsstarrett.com/catalog/catalog/groups.asp?GrpTab=Spec&GroupID=474

*Could buy a couple of the 99 cent line levels that hang from string lines? Not much of a cost or waste if they dont work
