ST50 wind mast head unit
      #1851914 - 08/05/2008 19:44

The wind speed section of my ST50 mast head transducers has thrown-in the towel and giving no output. I have now removed the unit and find the bearing that supports the rotor has broken, so no signal is being pick-up by the sensor as the rotor does not rotate on a true axis. I believe that spare rotor assemblies where available at one time, if I am correct, would anyone know where I maybe able to purchase the spares.

The ST50 is no longer supported. You can buy an ST60 masthead unit for about £200 or I have a spare ST50 unit you can make me an offer for. It will be missing the wind direction vane, but all the internal electronics and the windspeed will be there. Just swap your wind direction vane onto this one with a 1.5 mm allen key.

John.

Thanks for the info, I have found bearing at Radio spares, I will fit a new bearing and see if I can get it to work. However, i would be interested in your unit can you PM me with your price.
