Chris, Yes I will get photos soon. Can I simply send an attachment, not sure how to use imagebin. I took the cover off the end of the x axis servo, it does have what looks like a small motor in there, must be a tach. I wrote down the specs on the plate on the y servo. TORQUE IN_OZ 440, CUR-A 8,RES-OHMS 8, IND-MH 5.6, BEMF-V 1000RPM 41, MAX RPM 2000, TACH V/1000 RPM 7, JA-LB-IN-SEC2 .0163. Terry
