Which transformer did you buy and how much did it cost? The
installation info on the geckos says 24V - 80V, what seems to work
the best on BP steppers? What Amperage does the supply need to put
out? It says 67% of the motors rated phase current which should be
a little under 6A, would that make it an 18A or higher power supply?
I can't find anything on the size of my motors, except inside the
back plate it gives some part numbers 025805 and 26744 (one is the
alternate motor for the other) The power supply seemed to be pretty
stable before my control died, so I'll try to reuse it for now and
replace it as soon as I can.

Thanks
