Visual difference between PM1 and PM2 point motors.

Is there a visual difference? I have 17 PM1s and 1 PM2, and for the life of me cannot tell which is the PM2. I assumed that the PM2 wouldn't have the switching terminals, but all of them have a terminal A, B, C, D and E.

I have lots of PM1s but no PM2s! The PM1 has a sprung brass washer on the actuating rod which slides along the PCB to provide the switch function. The PM2 probably doesn't.

Fantastic - thanks yet again to both of you.

Turns out I have 11 PM1s and 3 PM2s. Off to eBay they all go...
