Exactly.

Some people find that spending $80.00 makes hours and hours (and
hours) of problems go away. others find that ...another $80.00 is
beginning to hurt....

Surplus Center offers a motor with encoder for around $20.00, so
someone can buy 3 with shipping for $80.00 and spend the hours needed
to convert.

But, some us get that post part-um depression when the machine is
done. The building is the fun part.
