Source for stepper/gearbox?

[garymck]

Hi,
anyone have any ideas where I might be able to source a small unipolar stepper with a gearbox around 50:1 ? RS components want $103 plus gst - a bit rich for me....secondhand would be nice! Oatley have none at the moment.

Need it to complete a motor focuser

cheer

Try http://smallparts.com.au (http://smallparts.com.au/)
They have gears and bearings, not sure about entire gearboxes.

You could use 12V 36 RPM motor from Jaycar for $20. But you would need different speed controller.
