    Most of the links provided as I search the forums indicate they no longer sell or only have one motor left. Any site suggestions for them?
    thanks

    Ebay seller pgsaw has been a major source of gear motors. Unfortunately he is down to his last motor, which has been marked up to a ridiculous price. But keep an eye on the pgsaw store for more motors.

    I'm using Bodine 42A3BEPM-E3 motors from ebay, but those are all sold out also. I wish I had bought a few spares when they were still around and just $50 each.

    The upside is that pgsaw consistently restock, though it seems to take a couple of months.

    The other 2 style gear boxes will work in replacement of the standard units. They are just as cheap and lack having a "plastic" bushing between the motor and gear box which could prove beneficial in the long run.
