Yep, right Matt. :)

Because the F-15 ADI & HSI are essentially irreplaceable, I'm going to 
give them *precisely* what the specs say they need.

I can drive a stepper motor using 16th steps using Pololu stepper drivers 
- many 3D printer use these in that configuration.  All I need is a tiny 
"home" position indicator for each and I'm set. :)

Somewhere in the shop I may have a dynamotor.  I'll see if I can't find 
that sucker. :)

tnx!
