Bob, Bojan,

I've often mentioned about printers/ industrial larger photocopiers,
3 and 5 inch disk drives, HDs (MFM and later), etc being a great source of this stuff
but here is a bit of a collection in pics to get you salivating
Well, at least us rogues Bojan

To summarise what you can cannibalise from them:
Motors, gears, pulleys, toothed belts, machined shafts, clutches,
photo interupter limits switches/PE devices, circlips, chains,bearings,
brass and nylon bushes, one way clutches, solenoids,grub screws,
sprockets...power supplies, Lenses(positive and negative), first surface mirrors,
prisms..................
the list is endless.....

A few pics explained:

Pic 4 is the guts of an old Epson printer-2 steppers, one with an actual
optic encoder directly on the stepper shaft (perfect for a scope drive).
Pic 5 are the ideal steppers for Bartel stepper-type drives (Astrosyn and TEC types)
Pic 6 is a DC servomotor with a gear reduction...ideal for Bartel servo
drives.
Pic 7 is a two way clutch so two drives can be 'clutched in' to drive an
output.
