The conformal coating on the boards looks decent. Is there any silicone grease on the connectors?
Glenn:
Great pics!

None that I can tell. The connectors still work smoothly after a year or so of weather exposure, though.

Underside of rain bucket assembly. This houses the 3 solar panels and the UV/Light intensity sensor.

This is the wind section removed from the main body. Note that I've already removed the bottom cap which is setting to the side.

This is the bottom of the wind section with the bottom cap removed (also a few screws). I assume this chip is what is measuring wind direction. The thing jutting out of the bottom is the attachment cable. I think it's a mini-USB connector if I have the names straight. There's a "hood" over the end of the USB connector which makes it a bit difficult to see.

This is another view of the wind section with the tip of the wind vane removed.
I'm still trying to figure out if the wind section can be disassembled further without risking breakage, but I saw a screw just under end of the vane.
Removing the screw removed the wind vane tip. Apparently this is just to cover some extra weights that were added. I guess this improves dampening so it doesn't "flutter" as easily as the 5n1.
It didn't help in my disassembly quest, though.

This photo is lookup up under the "flare" under the anemometer section. You can see two magnets that are being sensed to gauge how fast the cups are turning.
