Hi,

   After going through various files about servos and how to modify them
into dc motor with gear head, there seem to be in general three ways to
modify them. One of them was to take out the pot and replace it with two
2.7k resistor in series; another was to take out the PCB altogether and
leave the motor; and the last was to keep everything intact except
remove the tab stop and lock-tab from the output gear and center the pot
shaft. For me, the last one seem more favorable since it doesn't involve
any soldering. So to get the point, are there any disadvantage of this
last one? I was thinking i could then use the existing wire with socket
strips to connect to the dc motor pins on the handy board without any
soldering. I don't yet have yet a handy board to see if this is
physically possible.
