Anyway, seriously, I always wondered what the big deal was about speed. While there is a practicality aspect (1/2" per minute would be painful!), almost any speed is still workable.
In my case it's the precision, and not the speed that I'm interested in.
Having said that, though, I'll be overjoyed if I find some 450 oz-in steppers at that sale this weekend. :-)
Any particular devices I should look for, for scavenging big steppers? Big printers, old IBM typewriters, LASER printers, mainframe tape drives, copier machines. Anything else that would be a good choice? Last month I turned down an old IBM mainframe for $5. I'd have taken it for eBay, had I had any way to arrange for shipping. I'm telling you, *ANYTHING* technological can (and does) show up at this sale.
