Also, I tried to buy a new sensor a few years ago and could not find the Hunter replacement at any local store or online. I also tried to buy the cork sponges, but the only supplier I found was on Ebay, which I will not use. I gave up, but fortunately, my rain sensor still works after 6 years.

Right, I don't know where to get that replacement but you can get the $20 rain sensor from Lowes without the solar sync sensor and just make any time adjustments manually during the year. Also to replace the sensor you can cut the wire outside on the existing sensor, tape the new wire to the old and pull the new wire from your data cabinet and connect to your sprinkler timer.
