Hello Richard, I have a Hardinge HNC that I am converting. Your description doesn't match mine very well so I'll assume you have a different model, but I did find that my spindle pulse generator had terminal pairs for both the LED and the "amp" (+12 V and GND on both) along with the pulse and the index pairs. I would be interested in knowing more about your machine and what you plans are.
