Mark,

Checked the Superior Electric site and reached a dead end just as 
you did Mark. I was in the AC motor section at the time I hit the 
404 error so probably at same location you were.

Didn't mean to mislead you but sure sounded like a synchronous geared 
motor and not a stepper. Possibly is and has a built in capacitor that
went bad in which an external cap might be worth a try. (Only problem 
is that the detents you describe have me scratching my balding head).

Would like to know the outcome. Never too old to learn in my case (I
hope).

Regards and good luck,

Bob
