Hi this is a Motor I stripped out of a old VCR I have tried connecting to various connections on the circuit board to no avail. Is anyone knows where I connect to to power it, and also what voltage It would run best on It would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Those coils are arranged in 3 groups.

Power is applied to one at a time in a carefully controlled way depending on the position of the rotor.

If your question is more direct, "how do I make the board work", then most likely you need to provide power, then there may be logic or even analog inputs to turn it on/off set speed and direction.

Take a look at the cable that plugged into the board, the power connections should be easy to trace. The rest may be more trial and error unless you can find a datasheet for the IC.

Can you read what is written on the large IC?
