I don't remember whether I traced it or measured it, but I'm fairy
confident, Vgg = -12 is pretty common for GI MOS ICs. I'll try to
remember to double-check it when I have the unit opened again.
Thanks! I guess I can try it first on -5V too and see if the encoder
outputs do anything, and if not give -12V a go. If it works, I like the
charge pump idea - I'd probably ultimately give it its own case and use it
externally, so saving a wire is handy.
