I read the data sheet and found this quote: " If the direction of rotation is reversed, so that the gear rotates from the pin 4 side to the pin 1 side, then the output polarity inverts." Thanks for pointing out this device. It is NOT a simple Hall effect sensor. There are two hall effect sensor

Yes; it is only the ageing capacitors in some of the equipment from that era that lets the kit down. I never used Tek equipment, but did use the early Data General SuperNova in the early 70s, then the DEC stuff, all of which was very well made. I smile when folk say "Why does such-and-such a com
