Then I marked off equally spaced angle marks about 2' from the center of rotation. I was able to put it back in the same exact position and check readings. I also cleaned it several times and checked to see if that worked. I also checked the new sensor the same way on the board.

They wear out. I think the conductive plastic is not very thick and the wear makes it thinner.

Take care of that SVX,

John
I remember that thread. It was quite a while ago that you did this and I thought it was brilliant!
