I understand... I run into that type of thing once in a while also. I'd consider trying to upsell them into putting a servo where the existing motor is now. It will pay for itself in no time if they use the machine a lot. If they have a C face motor driving the gearbox that might be difficult, but if the gearbox is divorced from the motor it might be feasible mechanically. Something to consider.
