Hi Wally,

Not sure what you mean by "inner gears", maybe you a referring to the 
bushings? The bushings are made out of teflon and have small o-rings 
that hold them in place. The reed switches should be easier to find, 
but since I didn't need to replace any, not sure where to find them 
(maybe Digikey, or Mouser?). Their glass body (not counting lead 
length) is about 20 x 2 mm in size.

Anyway, the anemometer sender is much simpler on the inside then the 
direction sender. It only has a single board with one reed switch, 
and 4 magnets on the rotating shaft. I have a photocopy the whole 
manual, so if you need any info out of any pages involving the 
outdoor sensors, I'll be happy to scan them for you.
