Wow; some thread drift here! And - lots of useful info!
Anyway, I picked up a speedometer module at a local scrapyard for $10. Got it home, wired it up on the bench with a function generator and a power supply - looks like it works good! Smooth speed readings across the whole spectrum.
just out of curiosity, what does the old module do hooked up to the sig-gen?
