Re; Taylor Model 3108A repair person at my home has severly damaged my external thermometer prob/bulb and has also severed the 5-strand ribbon cable which connects the wind-speed/direction unit to the main guage panel. Are there any replacement prob/bulbs and ribbon cables? Is there a 5-pin connector which could be crimped to each cable end to permit reconnection? I am concerned about weather effects on any repair, too.Thank you for any guidance you can offer.Tom Vogelpohl513-232-0356

I have the same thing as Leo. My Dad was a weatherman for the County and I inherited this. I would love to use it but I know nothing about wiring. My cable linking the weatervane and wind speed is also cut. There is a very long wire with a metal rod on the end..not sure what that is for. Can anyone …Purchase or Repair: ...I have the same thing as Leo. My Dad was a weatherman for the County and I inherited this. I would love to use it but I know nothing about wiring.

David,I too have become the owner of an older 3108c Weatherstation. I was fortunate enough to get the instruction booklet with it, but like you, I have no roof unit to feed it a signal.I\'ve looked around the Internet to no avail and wondered if you ever found a source for one?Thanks in advance for …Purchase or Repair: ...David,I too have become the owner of an older 3108c Weatherstation.

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 weathervane rod bent due to some unknown reason and when I took off the top I noticed the vectical shaft was also worn very bad. Do you sell the whole package that sits on top of the roof? The machine was in for repair back in 12/17/82, bought in Sept of 73. Rough weather up here near Rochester,…Purchase or Repair: ...The weathervane rod bent due to some unknown reason and when I took off the top I noticed the vectical shaft was also worn very bad.

I would like to know if I can purchase the roof unit ( wind/speed indicator and wire )for the 3108 Weatherscope or if I can use a different/more current model that will work as well. I was given the Weatherscope, but I cannot access the weather/wind vane at this time. Thanks, any other info. on this…Purchase or Repair: ...I would like to know if I can purchase the roof unit ( wind/speed indicator and wire )for the 3108 Weatherscope or if I can use a different/more current model that will work as well.
