Has anybody recently upgraded their network or loggers and have a SC32B just sitting around collecting dust?
I purchased a complete weather station with a CR21X, TS525, wind direction & speed, temp sensors from a university salvage store for $10. One of the cups of the anemometer was snapped off, but with a little gorilla glue...
What is a ballpark value of the system?
How do you identify the various sensors?
Thanks,

Well, it's obviously got a value of $10. 8*) As you've probably discovered, the cable you are looking for costs an order of magnitude more than you've already paid...
What the "value" of it is would be some intersection of the new price for the pieces, their ages, when the last calibration was done, how it was stored, if it's suffered any (eg: lightning) damage, and what you were planning on using it for.
CR21X isn't in my 2003 price list, but I'd imagine it's still functional if it was well maintained and calibrated at least occasionally. Unfortunately, without spending what you'd probably consider to be a lot of money on calibration, you can't really tell what kind of shape it's in.
I don't know if CSI would be able to look up the calibration history of the various pieces given their serial numbers...
What would you like to do with it? If you just want weather data there are a lot of less expensive options, if you want to do hobbyist stuff it sounds like you are making a great start!
http://www.campbellsci.com/5_14 talks about a 21X (20K points, 1984-1999) and a CR21 (608 data points, 1979-1985), not sure what a CR21X is. If it's functional you've probably got a nice hacking/learning toy, but I wouldn't give it a monetary value that you could sell it for, as it's really pretty long in the tooth to be useful for datalogging.
