Dave, you are of course correct. But have you compared the teeth per inch of those driving gears, with the teeth per inch of the toy gears in the smallish machines I am messing around with? And by the time it gets to the special order listings an NAPA or ???, its hard to justify the $80+ they want when you know whats in it can be had for $8.64 at onsies price from digikey. And that stuff in these here parts is sold with a 10/10 warranty, meaning 10 seconds after you have the receipt and walked the 10 feet to the front door. I don't want that much skin in the game unless the specs say I'll be able to use it. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
