Girard anemometer
#1

One of my amemometer cups broke off during the hail storm at Spearfish. The only replacement I found was a new Girard anemometer for $142+shipping. I ordered a wireless wind sensor replacement cups from La Crosse Technology outlet--$9.95+$3.40 shipping. I ordered on the 8th, first class mail and received it on the 11th. I pried off the broken cups using two screwdrivers. The shaft on the anemometer is .160. I used a #22 drill (.157") to increase the center hole size, which allowed for a press fit which is how the original one fit. The fix passed the first test of bringing in the awning when the cups were spun.

Hello, Lynn we missed you and Jeff at the rally this year. It is good to hear from you. I see you got your transmission repaired. Good for you. Hope Jeff likes his hat.

Steve, I was on top of the Newell last week and noticed one of my cups on the anemometer was broken. Ordered one from La Crosse and followed your excellent instructions and the job took about 10 minutes. I think the La Crosse anemometer is better quality than the one I took off. Thanks.
