not a bad idea.
on a whim, I decided to take the right side panel off in hopes of finding a sticker or ID on the other motor. Lo and behold the Pantera Gods were smiling upon me - it's a Ducellier motor. and Google has provided a few sites that claim inventory and about the same price the vendors offer new motors +/- $150.
Would still be nice to find a modern, more powerful alternative.
