paul, you should have a motor sometime wednesday, i dropped it at fedex today but it was after the cut-off so it won't ship till tomorrow. i used the address u gave me earlier. i also put in a controller so you can test it if you want to. the controller takes a 60 hz pulse, with a 1mS - 2mS pulse width. the brown wire should gets grounded, and the red wire should be connected to 5 volts. the yellow (or maybe orange) wire is the signal wire. i have limited the amplitude of the pulse signal to like 2 volts on the board i built for controlling mine.

i'm controlling mine with a board built out of a pair of 555 timers, but a function generator should work perfectly for bench testing. if you use a 2Vpp pulse, offset it by 1 volt positive so the bottom of it looks like ground.
