That looks a lot like an Acetimer winder. Contact Anthony at Acetimer and he can probably supply you with new motors. His are very high quality and exceptionally quiet.

 

They are located in California and have a web site or they can be found on eBay.

Hi spdfrk!

 

I'm the owner of the blog you mentioned... I'm also new to this forum, so HELLO from sunny Singapore!

 

The motor you need to replace is a Mabuchi DC motor RF500TB-12560. This can be purchased online.

 

Anyway, I've also sent an email to you the other day about this too.

 

cheers all!
