Very odd; yesterday my Davis r/gauge started working again and still is. Not done anything to it but checking with the radar the amounts seem about right? Unable to go up the step ladder due to balance issues (old age) so did not do anything other than very gingerly check nil water in the gauge after it stopped in the middle of the downpour last week.
