Jon - I tested the motor with a 1.5vdc source with an ampmeter in
series. Turned smoothly with no hesitation and the meter was very
steady at .12 amp. FWIW the resistance of the motor is 2 to 6 ohms
depending on the armature position. Resistance between motor leads
and case was higher than the meter could read. Fluke 77.

Any thoughts? Andy
