They have one selling for $629 according to the on line catalogue. It
seems expensive, but I suppose you expect that of such things. Many
years ago, there used to be a company called Meteorological
Instruments, which sold all sorts of equipment, including professional
quality instruments. I don't know what became of them, but they must
have disappeared some 10 to 15 years ago.

Where does the Met Service get its instruments from? Is it worth
asking them?
