I already have these encoders. I hate to keep adding more neat stuff
on the shelves and buying new stuff to use.

I was looking at a half dozen NEMA-34 steppers, another 6 NEMA-23's 6
Gecko 201's a pair of Gecko 320's, 12 2,000 quadratrue encoders, one
8,0000 quadrature encoder, 5 NEMA-17 steppers, 3 Haydon linear
steppers,2 teflon lead screws, one steel ACME screw, one 10 foot 4
start screw.... and the list goes on and on.

If I can use what I got, I'd rather do that.
