Seeking RH-8 relative humidity sensor

[Rich Webb]

Trying to locate a source for a small quantity of GE RH-8 relative
humidity sensors.

I need one to repair a wireless temperature/humidity sending unit that
I've finally recovered after hurricane Isabel. It's functional but the
RH sensor is dorked after far too long on the ground.

A few more (if they're reasonably priced) would be interesting to
integrate into various and sundry projects.

The usual suspects (Digikey, Allied, Mouser, ...) don't carry them.
Any pointers?

Seems to be OEM.

Yup, been there. It's also "OEMed" by General Eastern Industries (now
part of General Electric) www.generaleastern.de/_RH_Sensors_Brochure.pdf

Unfortunately, manufacturers are often not too keen on dealing directly
with end users who anticipate a total lifetime buy of perhaps one or two
units. It's that wholesale / retail thingy.

I could probably get our corporate buyer to sweet-talk them out of a
couple of samples for a "new product we are researching" but I was
trying to be on the up-and-up and just buy them as repair parts.
