Yes, we modded ours - originally it was ultrasonic only, but a Zenith service seminar in 79 or 80 gave up the kit number for the IR mod, which also included the instructions to mod it to verify drive signals on the early System IIIs. They demo'ed it at the service seminar connected to an oscope, for purely visual means. We used it autonomously and rarely connected it to anything. Don't leave it on - the battery dies quickly.
The IR mod kit had the IR diode, wires, instructions and a template for the drilling of the metal case. We got our kit from Bluefield distributing, and they were surprised to see us order it, apparently unaware of it's purpose. They sure knew lots of other time-savers.
