Rpm Sensor (missing)

True !
As a hobbiest, I am going to tred slowly. I have a LOT of tools just not for milling lol

This is very wise. Going slow will tend to reduce the chances of impulse buys of inexpensive stuff that looks better than it is. Especially things like sets of tooling that look great but are mostly junk in hindsight.

Good news, I had a electrician tech pass by the garage to fix his truck, I asked him about the electronics and in particular the rpm sensor in my mill. Seems like the rpm sensor was an add on either before or after the VFD. He did tell me that the rpm was a "Redlion" which is a quality company, not a 10$ chinese tach.
One thing for sure, this mill was upgraded with some quality add ons, if needed it could be parted out for way more then I payed for it.
Good day

Yes

On the other hand, 23 posts into this and you are no closer to having a working RPM sensor, while the $10 asian one would have been on your door step by now and ready to install. :)
