I will take a short video clip on air too. This is the older great model with the controlling governor not like the new cheap dummy governor
I didnt know they made one with a functioning governor.
They didnīt steamwise Bruce...

But the old D32 has a mechanical connection from the governor to the RPM gauge, whereas the current version use an inductive magnetic proximity switch, which forwards its signal to the gauge...or so iīve heard, as i havenīt had the chance to inspect any of the new ones yet  8)

If my info stands true, i have no doubt that the later is more precise, but IMO loses quite a bit of the craftmanship feel, by jumping the fence at lowest point like that.
