Does anybody know where measuring cylinders can be bought for the standard 5" raingauge? Mine has broken on the end and I can't find any sellers. Do they still make these or does everybody use automatic weather stations now?

My glass measuring bottle broke years ago and I struggled to find a
replacement. In the end I used an old vinegar bottle (fits perfectly)
and pour the collected rain into a laboratory 50 ml glass measuring
cylinder and do a conversion (rain in millimetres ÷ 126.68 x 10).

I have also have an AWS but still take daily temperature and rainfall
measurements from standard min and max thermometers and a 5" rain gauge.
