worth the experiment to butcher a 12-sector pack into a  12-sector

 I assume you mean 'into a 16 sector pack'. 

Um... yeah.  :-\

  According to the RK05 printset, the sensor is, indeed
optical. The Diablo 
 model 30 (RK02/RK03) sector transducer is a coil + magnet assembly 
 according to the manual. 
That was what I was concerned about.  I _used_ to have an RK03, but it
got away from me over ten years ago (I think it succumbed to the basement
flooding that ruined a bunch of my stuff way back when, including a Datapoint
Beehive Terminal).  I still have the Diablo-to-DEC-tape-cable adapters.
