I guess I'm just so used to cheap and small steppers produced in bulk for other applications, at least since hard drives hit the main stream, that I'd expected them to be cheap. Maybe it's tough to get enough torque in a really small stepper. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
