Loply. My tacho has no means of sensing the spindle revs, as the original machine does not have that feature. The read out stays at 0, whenever the machine is live........ I guess it must be current monitoring......... David D |

David, I Dont know what happened to my orignal reply that should have appeared some posts further back....... :Doh: Anyhoo....Current monitoring is done by the big white resistor shown in post 26 of yours...The controller looks very much like one from KB controls..maybe the KBIC240? and no the tacho plays no part at all in the speed control of the motor...Shame you cant make use of the readout...although nothing is impossible..You could buy the sensor from one of the suppliers and add it as a retro fit... |

Thanks John! Don't need a readout. Like when driving my car. (Apart from restricted zones). If it feels ok, then it is ok........ :thumbup: David D |
