Cigar Hygrometer Question

[JohnnyK]

Hi all!

I just have a quick question. I bought a new humidor which comes with a front mounted, analog hygrometer. Unfortunately, my nephew was playing with the spring at the back and it broke, so I am looking to find a replacement.

The problem, however, is that I can't seem to find one at all. According to the best of my measurement, the hygrometer is 1 3/8" in diameter, and the hole in the humidor is slightly less than 1 3/8".

Has anyone seen a hygrometer this size? The ones I found online are all 1 3/4", and I don't think that would fit...

By the way, this is my humidor:

Thank you very much!

Chances are the analog hydro that your nephew broke probably didn't work all that well to begin with (meaning the %RH could have been off without you knowing.) My suggestion would be to forget about replacing it, leave it in as a decoration, and purchase yourself a digital hydro like this one. If you are dead set on replacing the analog I unfortunately cannot be of much help there! Sorry.

P.S. Take a gander over here and introduce yourself to the rest of the guys here at CP!

Like smokintexas said, leave that one for decoration, bet yourself a cheap digital from Walmart.
