A boat I am interested in will need new rigging.

How do you know?

Forestay, backstay,
shrouds, and the hardware that goes with the wire. Turnbuckles, etc.

What process should I follow to replace the rigging?

Take off old, put on new.

What supplier is the best to deal with?

I don't know...which is best to buy a new TV?

What measurements etc do I need to know?

Maybe wire size, wire type (1x19, 7x7, 7x19, etc), wire
length...turnbuckles size and type - galvanized/stainless/bronze. Et
cetera.

Is this a big job? From my reading, it doesn't seem to be. Mostly
just get the new and throw away the old. Am I missing something?

Expense. You could mitigate that by making deadeyes.

Also,,, life line? I will need new lifeline. Can I get this at the
same supplier?

Other equipment I am interested in and really don't know where to get;

A wind generator that attaches to the forward halyard. I've seen on
in a picture. My guess is it is a portable device that you put up
when anchored. I suppose you run a wire into the hatch or something.
Any thoughts?

Also,,, an anchor windlass. One of the crank kind, not electric.
Where and who has this?

Wilcox-Crittendon (if they are still in business), Jamestown
Distributers, most any Google hit for "marine equipment"...
