Spare parts
The wind blew my WH1081 over and the 'thing' that goes round for wind speed got broken. Can I get a spare from anywhere or do I have to bite the bullet and buy a new weather station? If that's the case, any suggestions for a cheap & cheerful one?

Re: Spare parts
You can get a new thing that goes round for wind speed from Clas Ohlson: http://www.clasohlson.com/uk/Weather-St ... r363242000 (click on the 'spare parts' tab).
Or possibly a bit cheaper from Waters & Stanton: http://www.wsplc.com/acatalog/Weather_S ... ories.html

Re: Spare parts
Thanks, all I have to do now is get the 15 miles to my nearest Maplins.

Re: Spare parts
Hi,
Have you actually checked the store's stock? I suspect that it may be one of their items which in practice is only available by mail order (but it still looks a very reasonable price even if you have to pay shipping).
Alternatively, it might be repairable with a little glue and perhaps a ping-pong ball.
Cheers, Alan.

Re: Spare parts
I have just seen it is indeed mail order only, and I have ordered two - after all the original one got broke!

I wonder if they have parts for the machine that goes PING?

Re: Spare parts
The package from Maplins arrived a little while ago and my anemometer (looked up the correct word) should be working again.
