Alan,
I agree with you that the difference in parts should have no effect, I suspect there is an underlying fault with the encoders we had (they were used in the past quite roughly) and I just have not had the chance to thoroughly examine the signal generated. I believe our problem was related to the encoders being partially nonfunctional in a not very apparent way.
