Re: Reliance DC Servo motors on E-bay

I also just received my motors. The same ones you bought John.
They were packed with care and in perfect shape. I tested them also

I had an excellent transaction with the seller. Was more than
helpful with all my questions.
Perhaps the person who had problems just did not have something
setup correctly.
