Hi guys, funny you bring this up. I am no expert on small motors but the other day I almost bought a old sewing machine at a garage sale for exactly what your talking about, ($5.00) but I didnt!!! in hindsight I should have. I have looked these small motors up on the web and somewhere along the line I found a guy that sells them cheap but cannot remember where I saw it 🙄 …..I dont think there would be anything wrong with going that route but I may be wrong. hope you find a solution and let us know how it goes… William P.S. your father is hired
