Subject: yet more motors
OK, I just dismanled a pretty ancient CDROM drive, a Sony CDU-33A, and I
think I struck gold. There's one of those motors on a board I've been
talking about, but the really good part is a tiny DC motor, not a
stepper, that moves the transport. The body is about 3/4" long, and the
motor has flat sides, but other than that it resembles a pager motor.
Except for the high-quality shaft encoder that's mounted on the arse end
of the motor!!! The thing is connected with one of those printed-circuit
cables, though, so I don't want to take it off until I know whether I
should.
But it looks very, very nice.
And I have another one of thses drives, too.
I'll see if I can get a picture of it with my dad's digicam for the
list...

p.s. there is also a cute little DC solenoid in here, Elmo...very
small...
