Mariss, thanks...yes, I am trying to figure out the 'sweet spot' of that threshold, where I can find a good quality motor and turn it into a servo. Doing an eBay search on 'servo' means I will find items that whoever is selling the motor has built in a price premium because they know what they are selling. A surplus dealer who is just selling a good DC motor will not have that price premium considered, so maybe I can add a $40 encoder and make it into a real servo, at a reasonable overall price.
BTW, my goal is to use Gecko's, so I want to stay within the proper specs as I search out my motors.
