For the cheapskates (like me!), I found this on Aliexpress.com. If you are a new customer you can get 10 pieces of the QRE1113 for a net price of <10 cents each after $2 new user coupon. Yes, you'll have to cool your heels for a month or so as the proverbial slow-boat-from-China meanders across the Pacific but it's hard to resist the price! Maybe I'm just lucky, but I've had no problems with aliexpress.com to date; OTOH I have had issues with eBay-Asia for inexpensive components like this. In other words, one of those Your-Mileage-May-Vary.
"We" (the OGR gang) may want to take GRJ up on his offer to design a DIY board for the QRE1113. I don't know what the MSRP is for an official MTH tach board...but for the DIY'er who knows which end of a soldering iron to hold, I'd think you could make PS2/PS3 tach boards for less than 50 cents each!
Well, time will tell. This may end up a total flop but there's only one way to find out. I'll share whatever I happen to learn...
