Has anyone found somewhere selling spares for Maplin weather stations?

[bee...@gmail.com]

So annoying... I had to re-fix the pole my weather station sits on as the base had rotted, and I managed to break one arm off the anemometer. So somehow I need to get hold of a replacement, but of course Maplin no longer exists.

Has anyone come across anywhere (preferably in the UK or EU) selling replacement anemometers for these? I have an N96GY, so I think the part I need is N82NF.

Web searches haven't come up with anything other than an anemometer that *might* work (I'm dubious about spending £20 and finding it doesn't work).

I'm thinking I'm going to end up having to try to botch a repair, which probably won't be great.

Hi

This one from amazon is a replacement. I have the same Maplin station as you and I was equally clumsy with the anemometer :)

It took 3 weeks to arrive in the UK but it was a straight plugin replacement.

Hope this helps -

Don't be too hard on yourself. Years of exposure to sunlight kills most
plastics.

Conveniently, that's the one I found that looked like it *might* be OK.

I'd rather avoid Amazon if I can, but sadly it looks like that's not going to be possible with something this obscure.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Try these at Amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Replacement-weather-station-Anemometer-Detector/dp/B085HN2847/ref=sr_1_15?dchild=1&keywords=weather+station+anemometer&qid=1605979545&sr=8-15
This one says it is compatible, so is the better choice.

Or possibly this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/MISOL-Spare-weather-station-speed/dp/B00QDMBQGG/ref=sr_1_39?dchild=1&keywords=weather+station+anemometer&qid=1605979545&sr=8-39
Seller cannot say whether it will work, but it looks right.

Cheers

There's Greenfrog scientific
https://www.greenfrogscientific.co.uk/accessories/ which has an
anemometer that looks like the one you need.
