Tach sensor

If you can get a number off the sensor, check on Mouser.

PS2 and PS3 tach sensors are different. The PS3 sensor is physically smaller.

I have them in stock, email in profile.  As stated, PS-2 and 3 are different.  G

The actual sensing element is smaller, but I'm sure the OP is talking about the board, very few people would be able to replace the sensor itself.  Also, the PS/3 board has some active elements that may fail besides the sensor.

Yup. Was talking about the size of the element.

The size is not as relevant as different circuitry.  I must be one of the few, I have replace the sensor and the comparator.  G

I have no problem replacing SMT parts, but that's a skill that I'm sure a vast majority of the folks that use these parts probably don't possess, and many are likely not interested in acquiring such skills.

Sensors were mounted on a move-able vertical can motor.  Often, the three wires attached, broke at the bottom of the sensor.  Other issue was, the distance between the sensor and the tach-strip.
