The MP3 is much simpler. There is a coil (possibly with a ferrite core)

That is in resonance with the detector when the probe contacts are

OK, got the unit in today. it does not seem corroded or

The 9V battery in it was dead, of course.
So, it is a bit more complicated that I had hoped. It seems

It looks a lot like a Renshaw spindle probe. As I was looking at the pictures I

I'd be really interested, because I have a Renishaw probe but I don't
have the receiver (OMI). Well actually I ha
forgot to add to my previous ,
they use an ir signal from the reciever box to switch the unit on
so long as the probe is recieving then it remains transmitting , on loss it
times out and switches off
this signal can include requesting the probe battery status etc , but i
have not yet decoded that
i had the same problem with a Renishaw ir probe , so i reverse engineered
the ir protocol
took me a few nights to sort it .
they send a packet continuosly, and on contact touch the data stops
in the packet is id , batt condition, and a checksum
i'd guess they may have done something similar
I have a Valeron probe that also had an infra red transmission, was
too lazy to reverse engineer and just cleaned the contacts and wired
direct, some probes have adjustable force, some are set to a high
force mine was mounted on CAT50 so is a brute.
