Can you buy new tubes for Motion Pro mercury balancers?

Can you buy new tubes for mercury carb balancers? This is the second balancer I have had the tubes shatter on. Getting quite a stockpile of mercury at home. I thought the tubes might have been made of glass, but are actually plastic. It is a Motion Pro balancer- they made two models- one with yellow plastic tube holder, and on with a white metal ruler style backing- mine is the white one. It seems that they don't make them any more- no mention on their website of the device or spares for it.

I wonder if the tubes have some other use or application. I can't imagine they would make them just for carb balancers.

Yep but I'm tight. If I can spend $20 or so on new tubes it would be better than $100 plus for a new balancer.
