HELP!
I have four gorgeous large stepper motors from old 8 inch
floppy drives.  They have cylindrical bodies (approx. 2.5"
long and 2" in diameter) with deeply threaded shafts (6 inches
long!!).

They were manufactured by SINGER and are labeled;
Kearfot Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor
They have four leads;
Black, Brown, Red and Orange
RE, OR and BR all have 32 ohms between any pair, BL has 18 ohms
between itself and any other lead.  (3 phase stepper?)
They operate on 12VDC.

I have been unable to make them go. :-(
Sequential stepping of the OR RE BR leads does not do anything
but make the shaft vibrate.

These look really torquey and I want to make them run!  Any info
would be VERY helpful.
