OK, does anybody know what device is used in the Sears digital level?

It would make a great home brew project for the Alliance U-110.

Hi Mike,

Why bother? The Alliance U-110 does not need a position sensor as it already includes a pulse switch the can easily be used to determine the position - yes, its not "high-tech" but it is simple to just count the pulses in software and it also works as an elevation rotor.
