battle with alcohol and and the damage it had to his brain cells---leading, 
of course, to damage to several M400s.

Negative.  One M400 motor.  I asked the same question, but apparently those 
little motors have enough torque to handle both capstans.

M400 #805 - reminded of Dickson's "air artwork"
M400 #1037 - [torque to you later]
