I just discovered (new to me at least) that Signet Marine sells refurbished Signet Marine traditional round instruments and sensors. http://www.signetmarine.com/products-2/used_instruments/used.html. They give seemingly-appropriate warnings about reduced appearance and expected lifespan, and prices look medium. I might consider this for my wind stuff (already replaced speed and depth instruments on my 36 year old 30-1).
