CJL5585 I would have to know if warranty came with the package before I would be interested at any price. Would also help to know a bit more info on the micro drives.......how many multiples on the steps and are they selectable?

Are you thinking about selling these? I put the minimum because I'd want to get them as cheap as possible if you were! :D Had to be honest and admit it here.

As I have built numerous drive systems for various people, I was considering building some systems using the Centent (Older Version Gecko's) 10 micro step drives which are not selectable. I was planning to have a warranty.

However, I have decided that I will not be offering any for sale. One has to furnish an enclosure, 3 ea. drives, breakout board, 5 VDC logic supply, and a 20 Amp 36 volt supply, wire the system up, and then test it with software.

Having just taken early retirement, I will find something more constructive to do with my time. Having worked in high tech electronics all my life, it does not offer me any challenges, and is not really any fun anymore.

Thanks for the responses.

The Centent Drives are excellent, I have the CN0165's. A setup utilizing drives of this caliber, I would pay 400 for. I would like to see a nice enclosure though if you could offer this.
