I have salvaged DC Motor (Copal) from and old floppy disc drive. However I don't have any information on them. It is an LC-177B. I also need a control circuit for it. I am building an inductor winder for guitar pickups.

Do you still have the rest of the drive? Apply power and measure which pins to the motor are +5v and ground. There will probably be two wires for power and ground, one for enable, which needs to be either +5 or grounded to turn it on, then another for tach output, and there may be yet another for selecting the speed since low and high density disks used different RPM.
Thanks Tim for thee URL. Much appreciated.
