well, for whomever originally wanted some thing - it just dawned on me that
I have the "speedometer" pulled off of an exercise bicycle that is exactly
what you want - still works

if you want it ping me off the list (get my email form my web page,
www.wbnoble.com )

oh, and I wouldn't put the fluke's input near the HT plug wire - that's a
good way to turn your fluke into a brick

Let us know if you find something cheap. I've been looking
for something like this to use on my lawnmower. Already have
a big ole magnet spinning around on the flywheel, just need
something to read it cheaply.

You gave me a thought. My Fluke 117 reads frequency. I wonder if a wrap
or two around
the spark plug wire would be enough for it to register?

Currently my meter is at work and I'm waiting for a blade adaptor since
mine is cracked or
I'd be telling you how it worked out.
