Looking further on the AT site, they aren't at all anxious to sell 
motors.  I did find an 1805 oz/in 2 motor 'kit', 2 motors, two of their 
drivers, a breakout board and a wall wart for it, presumably for a mach 
lathe setup.  6 Amp drivers so I assume the driver and motor are matched 
but I can do 6 amps with this psu.  But I'm not paying $700 + shipping 
for the whole thing when all I need is the motor, and maybe the 20x5 Z 
screw & its supporting hardware they also have in a G0704/BF20 
conversion kit.

And at 16:15 local EDT time, the phone number in Hoffman Estates, IL, on 
CDT so its 3:15 their time, is being answered by a voice mail system.

Does anyone have a better phone number than that one on their web page?

I know you all seem to think AT is the best, but when you cannot find 
what you want, AND they aren't answering the phone during what should be 
business hours, I am not being favorably impressed.  Frustrated is more 
like it.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
