Thanks for the offer, "4dFord/SC". I may take you up on it. However, this project may go no further because of the lack of response I've been getting. A couple of guys here seem ready to step up, but the only response I got on the H.A.M.B. so far is from some clown who says it can "easily be done with less than $10 in parts". (He's wrong, of course.) I thought there would be a lot of people interested in this, but I guess I was wrong. I'll bump the thread occasionally for a couple of weeks and see what happens, but I'm quite disappointed in the results so far. I think the thread over there got off to a bad start because of the negative responses (the $10 guy and someone who says that you really don't need a tach.)

If I can't get something going by the end of the summer, we may revert to making these five or ten at a time. The price will probably be closer to the $150 mentioned above than our target of $50, which will severely limit the market..
