Try using contact cleaner first.  Open unit and spray and let dry.  Give that a
try.  If no luck then simply remove reed switch with soldering iron, assuming
the wires are soldered and not screwed on.  Once removed look for any manufactor
name or numbers.  Here are two great places to order parts from.

www.mouser.com
www.digikey.com

If parts are not listed on site they will order them.. I use both daily with my
work.

Enjoy and gl
