Davis has a rebuild program where they will completely repair and rebuild your station for a reasonable fee (I believe it was $95 when I had mine done a few years ago). You are responsible for shipping it to them, or in my case dropping it off since they aren’t too far from where I live. The station will come back “like new”, they will replace any parts that need replacing and recalibrate everything else.
Drop them a support request at their website and they can give you the full details. Dan Rich <[email protected]> http://www.employees.org/~drich/ "Step up to red alert!" "Are you sure, sir?
