Step Motor difference between SS250 and Technobeams?

motors are the same. the only difference is the shaft size.

is you order a lot at one time buy the longer shaft ones, you can cut them down. the technos and studio 250's have three diffrent shaft sizes

I have been doing this for many a year. Make sure to bevel the edges on the shaft with a fine file and you're good to go.

LP means it was purchased from Lightparts.
they append LP on all their part numbers for motors.

I am having an almost impossible time removing the four screws on the two dimmer stepper motors on a SS250. Any ideas on how to get them loose. I have damaged the philips screw grove (what is this called? screw heads maybe) where the screw driver fits, on at least one of the screws.

I am thinking of drilling them out.

I even dismantled the motor, thinking I could just rebuild the motor with parts from a new motor, but there is a minor difference between the old and the new motor preventing me from doing this.

HELP!

I would just drill them out, and replace them.

they are a standard screw, and easy to get at any hardware store.

don't take the motors apart! althought I've done it I'm always being told that will de-magnatize the motor. the shutter/dimmer are the hardest to replace on a sspot 250, I trick I have is to take a phillips tip bit (the small ones that come in the kits with a whole lot of bits) and put the tip in a box wrench and turn it that way.
