Default Copal DC Motor

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.
