One thing you might try is simply rebuilding your old one. Once apart the motor is quite simple. I found out when mine stopped working and just went to a shop dealing with alternators to buy some brushes that were similiar in size. Since brushes are soft metal I filed them down to fit and vola! It works. Gives you a great chance to clean out all of the 30 year grease that was there as well.
