Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Pager Motors (Was parts source)
You can still get these killer pancake motors for peanuts in easy to identify
surplus parts at garage sales and swapmeets. There are 2 matched motors in every
Coleco ADAM tape drive (grin)! Inertia is high but the torque is great. Finger
spin one and it will turn for a minute!!!
happy motor hunting
