Nobody makes them, at least commercially. You'd have to either make one yourself, find someone to make one, or find someone that still has one. FWIW, early on, they used a potentiometer in the arm to sense position. Later on they used pulse. It seems that way to me likely. ------------------------ Yahoo!
