OK, so my title leaves little to the imagination  

I accidentally broke the glass on the analog hygrometer on the front of one of my display humidors.  It is the round type, and fits into a 1 3/4" hole.

I'm looking for a digital hygrometer that can be mounted in it's place.  It has to read from the back, and I'm having a heck of a time finding what I want!

Ok, BOTLs...all help is appreciated!

Haven't ever seen what you are looking for, but I'd be interested if any fellow Geeks know of a source...

This is the only front mount one I have ever seen.
Pretty cool that it is digital but looks like an analog. It also
comes with an adapter to fit a 1 3/4 hole.

Hope this helps.

This would work -- $30:

Kyle's suggestion works best fior your exact application but it's $45.

walmart sells a wireless that you could use...then plug the hole with some cool decoartion. You will like the electric reading.

Thanks guys - might have to replace my analog....

Found this in the Monster Mash up.  I know it's late but worth a try.

MSRP: $42.95
Monster Price: $32.98 w/ FREE UPS Ground Shipping

This unique digital hygrometer provides the aesthetic appeal of an analog hygrometer with the precision of modern digital technology in a classic round design. Accurately measures humidity and temperature in F or C. Includes built-in magnet mounting plate and can adapt to fit any size humidor.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm thinking the one that looks like an analog is the best bet  it's pricey but I need to replace the broken one and I might as well spend my $$ on a useful hygrometer vs just plugging the hole with a $10 analog junker

Good thinking -- especially if the humidor in question is a good one, replacing the hygrometer with a decent digital unit is the WTG.

well, I ended up going with this hygrometer...the digital that looks like an analog.  got it on Ebay for 24.50 so not too bad.  Hope it works!  I'll keep you updated!

 

Looks nice.

Wow, looks great.  Hopefully it performs as well as it looks - keep us posted.

Yes, please let us know how it performs.

I hate the waiting

Didn't Tom Petty say "The waiting is the hardest part"

Co i got the hygrometer today and it looks quite nice.  The only issue I have is that it is BIG...much bigger than what it's replacing.  I'm currently salt testing it, so once that's done I'll get it installed and flash a photo.

Obviously this is an old thread, but I have a question for you as I was thinking of purchasing this exact hygrometer. Is it able to be calibrated? Also, how has it been holding up for you? None of the websites say either way which has me thinking it isn't able to be calibrated. Thanks.
