Re: Trying to figure out what I have

I would recomend he use a 201a. (smirk) ; )

Of course the 201 is similar to the 210 and either will handle the
voltage and amps for either serial or parallel winding.

I deffinatly agree that he use the bi-polar chopper style drive as a
uni-polar drive will not deliver the power as well.

(who recomends 201a's only because he still has a few left)
