He brought them to us too, but be sure to bring it so we can have a second pick at it, and give a chance to those who missed last meeting.

Although I missed  the opportunity to pick up some stepper motors from Sam at Wednesday's meeting,
I called him Thursday, and set up a meeting to get some. Picture if you will the very suspicious transfer
of money and products from the back of cars in the parking lot of a shopping mall.

Anyway, he also had a box of sample motors (non steppers) mostly sized for use in things like DVDs, VCRs, Office
Automation Equipment, etc, etc.  He said I could have some, I asked "how many", he said "as many as I want", I took
them all. About 70 motors.  I will bring the box of motors with me to the next meeting I attend, and you can all pick
over them, as I only wanted a few for myself.

He emailed me today asking when the Menlo Park meeting is.  He wants to bring members freebies there too.

I picked up two of the bigger freebie motors on Wednesday, they are very fast!
I can't find any data, but I tried at 6v and it worked very well. It is big enough that it is probably a 12v. I'll try to measure the speed but I know some of them were marked at 30k rpm.

I also got 3 of the $10 steppers, they work really well.

Actually, that's me. We have a bunch in stock so I have been trying out Ebay as an option for selling them. Just to see if it is a viable option as revenue.
