    those heavy duty motors are the stepper type. They can adjust different speeds. You will see a bunch of wires going to them. I sell these motors on ebay for robots, cnc, hobbies. Get a box of them and ship in flat rate box. The large motor I tear down and remove the copper. It is very easy. Yes I save all my screws and little metal pieces. I will love to see the scrap yard faces and when bring a truck load of screws.

    well the green boards are what medium to hi grade and the others are low grade , I box up the green boards, put the motors in a bucket, but I don't know what to do with the laser board spindal part. I have several laser printers but don't know what to do with the laser board. I just in my other post picked up like 8 big office copy fax machines and many small office home all in one printers,.... none of these are considered telecoms I guess... by the way can someone tell me if the office phones boards are telecom lol I need to research that.
