Karl,
  You might get a copy of "Dr Know It All"'s AMi Ref Guide from www.alwaysjukin.com  . I am pretty sure he has covered that subject. If not, I know he has covered the operation of the Seeburg 3W-1 and the operation of the Seeburg stepper--which would give you the basics for the AMi also--Ron Rich

  Thanks Ron,
I'm reading, reading, and re-reading the manual trying to grasp the concept. 
It's greek to me but slowly making a bit of sense. I can understand the 
pulse generator a lot easier than the converter for some reason.
