Anyone know of some good value sources for replacement parts for Davis stations? I specifically need a couple of sets of wind cups and a new wind vane. Hail is a tough bird on those cups! :shock:

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

I got most of my replacement parts straight through Davis themselves. Get a catalog if you can't find it on their website. You can get all their parts easily from them. I replaced cups and wires through them.
Bargins may be held on eBay or other sites, but spare parts are harder to find.

David,
Direct from Davis about the best way to get replacement parts. They don't show up on e-bay very often and the cups aren't all that expensive. I try to keep at least two sets in the truck as I manage a few "bird strikes" each season.
There were enough last year that my daughter nicknamed my truck "Meadow Lark Masher" :roll:

I use the UK arm of this USA company to source my davis parts - but I have never used the USA outlet - but I understand that they are very good.

I thought about going through Davis directly, but often times when you go to the source you end up paying the "suggested retail price" and not the actual lower price you might get it "retail" from a distributor.
