[NOT REQUIRED] EQ6 Stepper Motors

[Saturnine (Jeff)]

Hi , going out on a limb here but if anyone has a pair of stepper motors for an EQ6Pro, that is R.A. and Dec, sitting around and not being used any more for some reason, I have a need to replace mine and would be keen to do a deal.

Cheers
Jeff

Stepper motors are usually pretty cheap and easy to trade out. Looked at the replacement pricing - crazy! There should be some labelling on the existing motors.
Steps/degree (I assume 1.8, but could be 0.9)
Motor size (looks like Nema 17)
Torque rating
Max current
Unipolar / Bipolar motor

Look at stepperonline.com / Ebay for motors of equivalent specs.

Thanks for the feedback Scott, should have pulled the add as I have replaced the motors already. I think they are standard Nema 17 but I bought direct from Tasco at a greatly inflated price compared to the Nemas' from Ebay etc.
