It appears that I need to replece the reed switch on my Davis VP1 station

If anyone here has carried out this repair it would be much appreciated if
they could supply details of suitable replacement switch and any other tips
in how to carry out the work.

Sorry Alan, don't have the answer, but I asked it before once and
mislaid it. Please issue again, in nice simple terms. :-)

Alain, these are the ones I was advised to get and used, replaced one
about 4 years ago in my WMII and it's still working (38.8mm last two
days :-)
