Thanks. I'd already seen your thread. I do check on ebay each week or so but I'm not far off purchasing, so the chance of a dead Davis system becoming available in time is getting less and less. There is one available on ebay.com (US$19.90 at the moment) but the seller doesn't ship to Australia.
I can buy a Fine Offset station for about AU$120 delivered or I can buy a new Davis 6410 for about AU$190 delivered. The Davis is more expensive but it looks much neater, looks to be better quality, and has a 12m cable. Will it last much longer than the Fine Offset sensor? That's the big question. If I knew that it would last twice as long (or even 1.5 times as long) then it's an easy decision to make. At this stage I'm leaning towards the Davis 6410 unless someone convinces me otherwise.
