After reading your comments about your sensor, I realized the magnet may be one of the culprits on this issue. Over time moisture accumulates in the magnet and may weaken the field to the induction coil. The induction coil in the Taylor anemometer heads are often weakened by time - temp changes etc. 30+ yrs of use. The coil end braids come undone, but yours is still reading out. There are also two capacitors in the back of the meter and they sometimes lose charge during wind lulls. There are also two adjusting potentiometers in the back of the meter. These can calibrate the windspeed. I find taking a small 6v battery sometimes fills the capacitors back to full thus making the windspeed work again. Just make sure if you do this, to do it momentarily and without the generator unit attached. The Taylor also has a rubber piece in the center of the magnet, make sure it isn\'t rubbing the bearing plate, it slows the cup operation. You might want to consider a set screw in the outer cup hub, Taylor windspeed generators have a tendency to blow off during windstorms. I have had several 3107s. They are quite accurate if maintained. -Matt

The machine was in for repair back in 12/17/82, bought in Sept of 73. Rough weather up here near Rochester,...
