I have a set of Signet Windspeed and Windpoint instruments and indicator meters on my boat. One of my windspeed cups was broken and I replaced that. I also had to bring down and clean up the wind direction vane and clean/lubricate it. My wind speed indicator and wind direction indicating vane is now working fine.

However, I am having problems with the Windpoint potentiometer as a result the 'close Hauled' indicating meter keeps jumping. I have opened the potentiometer and I have confirmed that it needs to be replaced. This is the potentiometer that is just below the windvane (masthead fly).

The parts for this are not easily available and if they are, are rather pricey. It would be great if someone has a broken or no-longer-inuse masthead unit lying around. I could check that and put it to use. I am willing to pay a reasonable price.

Thanks in advance. Please post a message or PM me.
