RPM transducer / Speed Switch

Post by knapmann »

Just testing the water, mine is dead I have tried to fix it, I'll have another attempt soon, but in the meantime thought I would see if anyone has one going, ideally a known good one. Mine has 4 pins in an "L" shape on the bottom. (not sure if later ones are different)

The transistors should all be replaced as the legs rust. But also the relay soldering very often is dry and fractured. Reflow the soldering to the relay legs too :)

If Tim will take it, it could be fixed. I had a sort in the work shop today and found 18 of these! Ok

Thanks guys

I found a couple of the transistor legs corroded so I replaced them. I also re-flowed all the solder on the back. It still doesnt work :( I plan to next replace the diodes. If this doesnt work then I dont think there is much more I can do with it.

Could I buy one off you Alan if I cant get this working?
