Output voltage should be noted, on the bottom.

AC is used, so the motors don't burn up, if the rotor seizes.
DC views coils as pretty much, as a straight wire that offers very little resistance.

Unless the controller has a broken wire to one of the terminals, it IS putting out.
Otherwise, the dot would not be moving.

I would suspect corrosion, or hardened grease inside the rotor.
Alright my bad for thinking it sent dc to the motor. I will try again with the multi-meter tonight and see what I get.

Does it matter that the dot moves even when none of the pins are connected on the back? Your comment made it sound like that should not be the case.

Any idea on what the pinouts are for 1 2 3? I read somewhere that 1 might be CW rotation and 2 CCW.
