Texas Electronics potentiometer
TheBushPilot:
Hi all, I am new to the forums. Anyway, I had received an older vintage Texas Electronics heavy duty anemometer and wind vane, similar to that off of Texas Weather Instruments website. It was repainted a light and darker grey color. This also came with display for both wind speed and direction. The potentiometer in the wind vane went out and I have struggled to find similar makes or matches. I have yet to find when this equipment was made as there are no dates or records on anything I have. All I have to go on thus far is that the potentiometer is manufactured by Duncan Electronics. Hopefully the images will help figure something out.
Anything is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Is there anyway to open the pot and get inside it? It just may need cleaning.

Yes, the first thing I did was open the thing and make sure it was clean. It turned out the little contacts from the slider piece and the solder bullets were broken.

Can we see pictures of the broken parts?

The little leads in the pot were disconnected, they were not connected to the ring thus no connection. I'm not sure what to do about that.
