Obsolete for sure, these are ametek tape drive motors , had a friend in
Syracuse that had a 40000 square foot electronics recycling center I got
these from . Probably twenty to thirty years old. I'm searching for a 5/8
hole replacement now, I found some cui at mouser but we have had weather
and my internet here in the Ozarks is almost non existent.

I'm sure there is no warranty on these freebies.

Was able to verify pwm output with my radio shack multi meter with
frequency counter, so while Murphy has stopped one thing , now it is to
build an isolation supply and put these 28 volt 28 amp DC DC converters
together and make the generic h bridge run these motors, and outfit all of
the control works to an atx case I have laying around and gut the nema case
that formerly housed stepper drives and control system.

How long is tool long for this 50 pin cables? I understand the shortest the
better but 2 foot would be great or would it be better to extend the db25
cable? Probably that one as it's only one cable.
