Today I made a lucky find at the local Goodwill and scored an old apple printer with one nice fat stepper motor and another little one (your standard printer stepper). The print head has a nice design that looks like it will make a nice axis for my cnc project.
The electronics board it came with is full of parts that look like someone with more electronics ability could use. I'm willing to donate it to anyone who'll pay for the shipping. I can attach a picture if anyone is interested. I know I'll just end up chucking it unless I suddenly become able to keep the smoke inside the little boxes.
It has 9 darlington ic's attached to a heatsink, two bridge diodes, fuses a couple of fat capacitors and numerous other ic's. Send me a PM if anyone is interested. I'm hoping I can give a little back to this site as I've learned so much from it.
thanks
