Anemometer replacement

[amanda704]

We've broken our masthead anemometer but don't want to replace the digital read out on deck. Anyone got any ideas of where we can get parts? Or do we take the leap and replace all new. If so, any thoughts on make/model. Think low budget!

Are the pins broken or just need straightening?
Is the mount on top of the mast damaged?

Hi Slipstream, thanks for your reply. I would upload a photo of the damage, but for some reason the technology will not allow. Basically I think there were three branches off the top of the masthead anemometer structure (a better explanation is illuding me) and two of said branches are missing. We had the mast down in the canals and we rushed the procedure and didn't take the masthead instruments off. So I can't believe it will work, no other reason than that. I don't think the actual pins on the connection are a problem, its the absence of the "windmill" above it. Annoying I can't load the photo!
