RE: Motor Question



Some of the older "variable reluctance" type steppers don't have the magnetic "detents" you feel on normal steppers.  Could be one of them.

No, I am not sure that they are not stepper motors.

They don't have the usuall "click-click-click" feel of a stepper.

I think they came from a larger (older) tape drive which would lead me to
believe that they are in fact steppers.

I am going to keep looking.

It would be nice to find something that did not cost an arm and a leg...

Thanks for your input.
