The Elektor was a self-build thing, (not sure if there was even a PCB available) and contact-assisted.

Your Moggy sounds more like a Lucas Optronic (think that's the name or was it Lucas "Opus" Electronic?) conversion kit where the contact breakers were replaced with an opto-isolator and slotted disc, usually with as many "fingers" as cylinders that was attached to the dizzy shaft.
